Mobile Traffic Figures: February, 2010, US.

Posted by on March 29, 2010 No comments

Android is the big standout of its most recent figures, with Google loyalists now constituting a cool 42 percent of AdMob’s smartphone audience in the US. With the EVO 4G and Galaxy S rapidly approaching, we wouldn’t be surprised by the little green droid stealing away the US share crown, at least until Apple counters with its next slice of magical machinery. Looking at the global stage, Android has also recently skipped ahead of Symbian, with a 24 percent share versus 18 percent for the smartphone leader. Together with BlackBerry OS, Symbian is still the predominant operating system in terms of smartphone sales, but it’s interesting to see both falling behind in the field of web or application usage, which is what this metric seeks to measure.

Ars Technica: iPhone still dominates mobile web ; Android on the way up.

The Browser world is…upside down!

This world map of mobile browser usage is interesting. Some figures, like the iPhone/iPod’s presence in almost every major market of the world, are not surprising. Others are funny.

Why is Nigeria owned by Opera, with 94% of the market share? Or why Blackberry is not appearing in Canada, its home country? Even the Sony PSP is beating them there, while they are the dominant platform in Australia. The world is upside down.
