I was refering to ability to post on this website using mobile browser. and while I don't have a problem to do it using "victim" (according to some) Opera Mini, it is quiet imposible to do using "great" WebKit based Google browser. Unexpected, but yet another argument for Opera Mini.

Before we merged the sites to the vBulletin back-end, we had full browsing and posting templates. After the merger, all that work had to be re-done, and we only managed to get the mobile reading templates up fairly quickly. The mobile posting templates never managed to get finished for a variety of reasons, but you may have noticed recently that there are new mobile reading templates - and the new mobile posting template is on the way.

Unfortunately I do not have unlimited developer resources, so things never happen quite as quickly as I hope they will.

Well if we're talking about browser share, Android, with less than 2 million devices on the market as well as only being on the scene for less than half a year, has managed to steal 6% market share for web traffic. That in itself is a HUGE percentage of market share seeing as how Windows Mobile sold close to 20 million handsets and only has a slightly higher percentage than Windows Mobile.

This is why I made such a huge fuss over the summer of last year when Microsoft announced their next mobile browser would be based of IE6. IE6 was a joke on a development end and a user perspective end. As Android has proved with its large percentage of market share for the amount of devices in the wild, people want Internet browsing on their handset and they want as close to a desktop experience as possible. Until Microsoft learns that they will always be close to dead last in the mobile market share space.

I asked a Microsoft spokesperson and the answer that was shared with me was:

"We typically don’t share the exact SKU mix but I can tell you generally that the mix is roughly 2/3 Pro (touch) devices and 1/3 Standard (non-touch) devices."

So there ya go.
