IPhone dominance over the mobile web

A research firm has found that the IPhone has 66.61% of mobile traffic, while its competitors have just gained a foothold. The traffic has been measured across tens of thousands of websites.
Its competitors have yet not managed to get more than 7% of the traffic.
Its next competitor, Windows mobile, had only 6.91% of traffic, Google Android and Symbian have captured 6.15%. The Palm OS was used at 2.37%. The Blackberry was only used at 2.24%.



We have to take into account that the Android was not available before october, and managed to capture in a few months a market share that took Symbian years to acquire. This performance is great news for Apple. The usability of the MAC OS used on Iphones and the Safari web browser have played a significant role in the success.
