Mobile browser market share in US

This graph indicates mobile browser share of total mobile internet traffic in US market in past 12 months. Datasource: StatCounter



Trend is clear. More and more mobile traffic is coming from non-iOS devices. On an average over the year, this is how the share looks like

Blackberry: 29.57%
iPhone: 26.83%
Android: 18.02%
iPod: 13.88%

Note that the above will not total to 100% as I omitted share for other browsers such as Opera etc as these 4 constituted the top 90% traffic source. Note that all the 4 devices have a webkit browser with HTML 5 capabilities (Blackberry announced it last year). This is good news as HTML 5 features would help to a create a user experience which would feel like native app.

Write once and run everywhere ;)

EDIT: I just found out that Google recently released the relative number of active devices running a given version of the Android platform.
