With iPhone users using their handsets to surf the web more and more, it wasn't a complete shock to discover that the iPhone is the leading source of Smartphone traffic in the world. What were surprising were the actual figures that show the amount of Smartphone traffic generated by each mobile operating system. The iPhone was number one with 50% of internet usage stemming from mobile phones, light years ahead of the second place Symbian, which is responsible for 25%. The last few months have seen Symbian lose ground in this department, in part to the emergence of Android based phones, especially the new and popular Motorola Droid. BlackBerry OS and Windows Mobile also lost ground, but their portion of overall traffic was only a small fraction to begin with. This study does not take iPod devices into consideration, which is somewhat flawed. There is no real barrier between mobile phones and Wi-Fi capable devices anymore. Had the iPod been taken into consideration, Apple's share would have been significantly higher.
