iPhone Dominates in Small and Medium Sized Businesses

The iPhone is the most popular smartphone for small and medium sized business employees according to Intermedia, the world’s largest provider of hosted Microsoft Exchange email services. With a user base size of more than 250,000 email users, Intermedia says that 48.5% of email accounts were accessed through an iPhone compared to 25% accessed by a BlackBerry and 12.75% accessed through Android.

BlackBerry’s usage is also dropping and Android is gaining quickly whilst other smartphone’s such as Windows Phone 7 and other non smartphone operating systems represent 13.75%. Intermedia’s chief executive Jonathon McCormick said “staying in sync with the office regardless of time or day has become imperative in most industries.” Also interesting was that iPhone users sent the most emails whilst Android users received the most emails.
