Back 10% in second place is Android and Symbian drops to third with 22%. When it comes to mobile traffic, the triple team of iPad, iPhone and iPod touch obliterates the competition with a commanding 50% while Android devices are at 10.5% of all mobile traffic. So even though Android is nipping at the iPhone's heels, Apple products clearly area a favorite with the folks in Australia. </p>
