If you didn't read that line, the iPhone has 66% of mobile internet market share!"</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1236049615.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>Not sure if this includes the iPod Touch, or how they would split them from each other, but it is impressive. Especially impressive if you compare what it was to just a <a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2008/03/iphones-mobile-safari-making-big-market-share-gains.ars" target="_blank">year ago</a>: 25%. <a href="http://www.android.com/" target="_blank">Android</a> is slowly catching up though, moving to 6.15% since it's debut in October 2008. Interesting comparison to <a href="http://www.symbian.com/index.asp" target="_blank">Symbian</a>, Android accomplished in 4 or 5 months what it took Symbian 2 years to do. I do find myself using the browser on my iPhone for quick looks fairly often when I don't want to drag out the laptop, especially if I'm at home or somewhere else where there is wireless, it is just too easy to use.&nbsp;</p>
