IPhone Still Rules SMBs, but Apple Needs to Keep an Eye on Samsung:

Apple devices accounted for three-quarters (76%) of all mobile device activations on Intermedia's desktop sync network since January 2013.

Intermedia's customers use its service to synchronize their mobile devices with their desktop computers.

With over 190,000 activations, Apple accounted for six out of every eight mobile devices activated by Intermedia's SMB customers, despite other studies showing Android's overall lead in market share.

Intermedia's annual report also finds that Samsung has pulled ahead of the competition in the past two years to establish itself as the No. 2 device manufacturer among Intermedia's SMB customers -- surpassing activations of all other Android manufacturers, as well as Windows and BlackBerry mobile devices.

"Small and medium-sized businesses are choosing Apple for mobile delivery of their cloud IT services at an incredible rate," said Michael Gold, president of Intermedia. "Many customers already leverage Intermedia services on smartphones and tablets as the primary front-end for running their business. Samsung and Apple will compete intensely for these business users by driving down prices, extending functionality, and addressing SMB needs like security. This means the ultimate winner will be businesses themselves."
