Predictably, the most popular apps across all smartphones are Facebook and Twitter."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//at/auto/1285093222.usr105505.png" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>I spend little time in Safari on my iPhone. I'm almost always using one of the news apps I have, or Instapaper. About the only time I pull up the browser is when I want to share an article, and the app I'm currently using doesn't have that option (which is pretty rare now), or when I'm doing a Google search. If I'm using a site that requires a login, I use the browser in the Lastpass app. How often do you use Mobile Safari?</p>
