[...] but the browsing experience is obviously more than good enough for most. How else would the iPhone platform account for a highly disproportionate amount of web requests around the world when compare to sales figures? Jon von Tetzchner, the co-founder of Opera Software justifies it [...]

Guys, clearly the universal applicability of the data is questionable, but let’s face it, those who have better data are not doing a real good job of sharing it. If someone is, please post a link. Long and short of it is that while the specifics will vary from market to market, it is clear that a sea change is happening and that sea change is that the promise of the mobile internet is coming true and that has caught some people with their pants down, particularly in North America. Suddenly what used to be an ornamental bauble or toy has become a real tool that is actually used. Prolly time to get backhaul sorted and I reckon it is time for more fiber in the diet.

Since the report mentions that USA accounted for 47% of “Ad Requests”, with Indonesia coming in at second (10.8%), I assume this tilts the usage of HTML traffic in iPhone’s favor, since AdMOb is measuring traffic based on the Ads it serves.

I suppose I could have cut through the BS a little more and said “Android, iPhone dominate mobile browsing because everything else is horrendous.”

Still no Flash on the iPhone though, so it’s not the “whole Internet”, as the ads would have you believe.

Still, given that iPhone has over seven times the market share in this category, this is an extremely misleading headline. iPhone dominates, Android is a distant (and hopeful) second.

It is good that the axiom “People tend to use things that don’t suck” still holds true in mobility. One of the things that has helped tone down the rise of the mobile web is the awfulness of mobile browsers and web apps. This is starting to change, with both the iPhone and Android offering superior mobile web experiences. Interestingly they also seem the bogeys to target for App Stores as well.

I was more interested in the phones giving the “full Internet” experience, which the iPhone and Android do well and other phones do not, hence those two being the only platforms to have a higher share of HTML use than their unit market share.
