While there are lots of ways to measure the popularity and success of the iPhone (webpage marketshare, sales numbers, etc) PED from Apple 2.0 has a graphic which puts the stratospheric rise of the iPhone over the past two years into perspective.  Google Trends of the term iPhone vs. Blackberry, vs. Windows Mobile..you get it:

It says almost as much, if not more about the iPhone brand's strength as it does about the sales numbers.

This graph makes no sense.

what does it mean the search volume index - actual search volumes (the number of google searches?) are normalized to a certain value? to what value?

Whatt does the key mean? iPhone = 1, WM = 0.25? Why are there peaks?

What do the little flags mean - A, B, C, etc?

what is the news reference volume? what can that possibly mean?

make a new graph! This one is junkular
