Apple's iPhone is now responsible for 66.61 percent of global mobile Web traffic according to a NetApplications.
The Java ME platform follows a distant second at 9.06 percent, trailed by Windows Mobile at 6.91 percent. NetApplications notes that despite the iPhone's commanding lead in mobile browsing share, Android (6.15 percent, tied with Symbian) and BlackBerry (2.24 percent) are rapidly gaining market share, but the report notes that doesn’t mean Apple's lead is shrinking, but that the overall market is growing fast.
Though one must be wary about imputing too much, the current figures indicate that there are clear end user behavioral differences between iPhone and BlackBerry users. That might be caused by user interface barriers or other user preferences, but the differences are striking.
