According to information provided by StatCounter, the iPhone has catapulted to become the most popular mobile internet browser in the United States, pulling ahead of the Symbian OS browser used in Nokia phones. Globally, the Symbian OS Browser remains ahead of the iPhone broswer, though as the popularity of Apple’e new device grows, so will the usage of its web browser overseas.
What is is amazing is that the iPhone and iPod Touch browsers account for 0.23 percent of U.S. Web traffic, and .08 percent globally, despite the fact that it is only available in a select few areas.
“It would appear that iPhone is more than living up to its claims of being a user friendly internet browser, unlike many other mobile phones,” commented Aodhan Cullen, founder and CEO of StatCounter.
These results are based on a very large sample of more than 371 million page views globally from December2007 to March 2008, 71 million of which came from the United States.
So….what does all this mean? More and more people are using mobile devices to browse the web so it is in your best interest to provide mobile versions of your website for easy browsing on cell phones.
