“Although the iPhone has a commanding lead in mobile browsing share, Android and BlackBerry are rapidly gaining market share. This does not mean that iPhone web browsing is shrinking, because the overall market is growing rapidly,” the report writes.

 

Probably the most remarkable spot in this ranking belongs to Android, which has managed to gain 6 percent market share in just a few months from release, in October last year. Furthermore, the Android has even managed to surpass older players on the market, such as Symbian, and is almost running neck and neck with Windows Mobile.

 

Sticking to mobile Internet, Google is still the dominant name in the market, with a market share even greater than on desktop devices, of 98 percent. The remainder market share is completed by Yahoo, with a little over 2 percent, while the other search engines are not even worth mentioning.

 

Another recent report, this time released by Global Intelligence Alliance, revealed that Apple’s App Store is ahead of any other similar store on the market, after taking into consideration the time to market, the ability to attract developers, the rate of device adoption, an efficient interface and user experience, and a critical mass of attractive applications.
