The iPhone is Already the Top Mobile Browser
Posted by Jerry Raia in "Smartphone Talk" @ 06:00 PM
"It's been on the market for just six months, and already the iPhone (plus its Wi-Fi-only variant, the iPod Touch) is the most used mobile browser for Internet access in the U.S., according to Irish researcher StatCounter. At No. 2 is the Symbian OS used in Nokia's devices. Globally, the two positions are reversed. In either case, Windows Mobile -- in all its versions -- is just a blip."
This just seems impossible doesn't it? How can that slick, constantly and dynamically evolving WM browser get beat out by the new kid on the block? I'll tell you how. WM fell asleep face down in the corn flakes at the breakfast table. The only way a company bigger than some countries could let this happen is by being unconscious. Oh but don't worry, 6.1 is on the horizon with (sound of trumpets) zoom in/zoom out browsing! Even better, it will arrive well after the next generation iPhone has been out a while. Makes your eyes water doesn't it?
