Mobile Web Browsing in the US

Posted by Marshall Sponder on March 11, 2009 | Link It

According to Bango, a Mobile Analytics provider, Mobile Web Browsing is now the highest in the United States, than any place else in the world, probably due to the iPhone – here’s a video announcement from Bango, and then I’ll comment on it.

Bango claims the US accounted for 29% of web worldwide traffic and  57% of payments worldwide in February 09.

I was thinking of a way to verify  Bango’s claim about Mobile Traffic in the US.   Fortunately, StatCounter Launched a  Global Stats Tool: Tracks OS, Browser, and Search Engine Market Share as announced last month in Read/WriteWeb and while the amount of mobile traffic is not given, the percentage of it, is:


The chart above shows, at the current time, iPhone traffic is 40% of all mobile traffic with iTouch traffic hovering between 25% and 30% – that makes Apple’s share of mobile traffic between 65% and 70% of all mobile internet activity in the United States – impressive.

Now, there probably isn’t anything that I can use outside of Bango, that will verify exactly what they’re saying, and this comes as close as I can reasonably get.
