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
If nothing else, remember these two things about mobile strategy:• Mobile is not just about mobile phones and apps – that is just the tip of the iceberg. Mobile can transform your entire enterprise, every aspect. And it can do these things now.
• Mobile is not just one field, it represents hundreds of technologies that can do a vast amount of different things across the entire enterprise that have little to do with each other. In other words – using mobile technology for marketing has little to do with using mobile technology for improving operational efficiencies. Make sure you are thinking in the broader context of how mobile can revolutionize everything you do at your organization and putting your resources where they will make the most impact first.
Keith Bourne is the Lead Mobile Strategist for Arbormoon, a premier mobile development firm located in Ann Arbor, MI.
This blog, and my life, is all about mobile. I've been active in mobile since 1998. The mobile world has changed a lot since those early days, but the most interesting events have come in the past 3-4 years. Really since January 7, 2007, to be exact. I have had been lucky enough to participate in mobile projects ranging across a wide variety of industries and disciplines, including retail, restaurants, education, government, software, operations, marketing, and many more. I built deep technical knowledge, even coding mobile apps on occasion for both iPhone and Android, and that has made a huge difference in my ability to determine the best strategic applications of mobile for my clients.
I have given many presentations and interviews on tech and marketing related topics including mobile strategy, mobile marketing, eCommerce, and social media, but this blog gives me an ongoing outlet to chronicle the growth of mobile in the enterprise and what I believe will be the biggest change agent in how business is conducted across all fields, and the greatest marketing channel ever created.
If these are interesting topics to you, follow my blog here and follow me on Twitter @keithbourne. Let’s make it a discussion and share whatever we figure out with everyone else.
