So not a lot of people with symbian use internet.

Also, I don't think this is a comparsive test. Because Admob is part of Google. Thus Android has a lot more chance of having their adds. Also a LOT of iPhone apps that use internet don't have adds at all. Actually, I think 80% of the time I use internet on my iPhone there are no adds at all.]]>Mar 29th 2010 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/N95 is no budget or small to me]]>Mar 29th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/True.

From where I see it, Symbian matches iPhone Browsing data.

Except you're wrong. Out of the 67 million or so smartphones sold by Nokia for example - and that excludes the Symbian phones made by Sony, Fujitsu and others - about half were N or E series. The rest were 5 and 6 series all of which browse the web comfortably.

What they don't do is browse the crappy US centric ad infested websites which AbMob monitor.]]>Mar 29th 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/Mar 29th 2010 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/

Please check it and correct as appropriate. "Nearly 50 percent of the mobile operating system share" should read smarphone operating system share.

I love it how people think that when a company buys another company the CEO walks in the next day and tells them to make Android appear on top of everything. Business world works very slowly, even Google. Just the amount of time it takes for them to cover their asses before they do that takes longer than the time they have spend owning the company

TLDR; Even large businesses can't make newly bought companies change over night. ]]>Mar 29th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/London hardly represents Europe. It's a major urban capitol with lots of business, particularly financial industry, where BB has always been, and remains, a bit of a status symbol. I agree that Android seems relatively uncommon in most of Europe though.

This should really be a wakeup call to MS and RIM; those devices simply aren't very good at browsing the web, where the iPhone and Android are great at it. You can go on all day about how "real businesspeople need BB email" but, frankly, that's about as outdated as saying "real video editing is done on a Mac". It's simply not true that the platforms that excelled at a certain task 5 years ago are still the best choice.

Plenty of "real" business people getting real business done with push email on Android and iPhone.]]>Mar 29th 2010 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/

"Are you really this stupid? First of all, Android has about 20 different models it sells by different manufacturers. There is only one iPhone, so comparing the web-traffic apples for apples, isn't very accurate"

What does the fact that apple only has one or two handsets have to do with anything?

I mean, this isn't a graph showing what phone is most popular, this is purely a graph showing what OS is generating mobile web traffic.]]>Mar 29th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/

I can't see what ANY of your comment had to do with web traffic market share?

What does the number of models have to do with market share? What does the quality of the OS have to do with it? What does it have to do with the release dates? I am really puzzled by your comments. My best guess is they are preemptive?]]>Mar 29th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/stats-iphone-os-is-still-king-of-the-mobile-web-space-but-andr/

Because Apple wont license their OS, it isn't fair when others are smart enough to?

Android in your opinion is dumb.
