Could there really be 250,000 iPhones in Ireland?
That's the figure (no link, sorry) being claimed by Digital Reach, a division of AdForce. It's based on data collected from advertising clicks on websites such as RTE, Bebo, Vodafone and Meteor.
If it's true, it means that about one in 10 active mobile phones in Ireland is an iPhone. Given that O2 would be the default operator for the vast majority of these units, it would also imply that about one in every four of the 700,000 post-paid contracts the operator has is used on an iPhone.
The survey also claimed that at least 25,000 of the iPhones-- and possibly up to 80,000 if you extrapolate from its data -- are operating on the Vodafone network, even before the device is officially launched on that network tomorrow.
I haven't seen the exact criteria used for this study. 250,000 does seem a little high. But if it's true, that's some result for Apple.
