Chart of apple product revenue splits and growth over time. iPad is already near half of the Mac. iPhone will likely jump comparable to the jump in June of ‘09, meaning it may easily become half of apples revenue, or more. Hmmm, I wonder if this mobile thing is going to catch on?
What is most incredible about this chart is how quickly Jobs has been able to add successful and meaningful lines of business to Apple. It would be cool to see this chart going back to 119 or something like that to show the growth of each line of business.
If you then overlaid a chart of Google and its efforts to expand into different categories you would really see how impressive this is. Over basically the same amount of time Google has added a lot of shit but their revenue is still almost entirely on search term ads.

about me
I've been doing mobile since 1998 in various incarnations. The mobile world has changed a lot since those early days, but it really got interesting in the last couple years. Really since January 7, 2007, to be exact. While mobile was growing up, so was I, professionally that is. I learned to how to be successful in a variety of marketing related areas, social media, web, eCommerce, direct marketing, public relations, and much more. I built deep technical knowledge, even coding mobile apps on occasion for both iPhone and Android. I'd say my success in mobile stems from my success in other marketing disciplines, and from my understanding of the underlying technology. And now everything has come full circle. It is so exciting that I'd like to write about it. I have given many presentations and interviews on tech and marketing related topics including mobile, eCommerce, and social media, but this blog gives me an ongoing outlet to chronicle the growth of mobile marketing and what I believe will be the greatest marketing channel ever created. If these are interesting topics to you, follow my blog here and follow me on Twitter @keithbourne. Lets make it a discussion and share whatever we figure out with everyone else.
