Being the geek I am I get carried away with statistics regarding the audience devices I’ll need to develop for, coming from an art(ish) background means that this is doubly important for me.

While looking for some detailed metrics on this I came across this page on the W3C site which links to this page giving further percentages – rather than having to flick between the 2 pages I’ve combined both charts here and I’m publishing them here to help others.

Please do check the original pages though as these figures are only correct as of January 2011. I’m not sure what the trend is in terms of resolutions but I should image it’s moving upwards… the tablet/phone market may alter that though!
