Metrics on mobile web usage

The Making mobile web sites with Drupal blog points to a report showing some surprising statistics on mobile usage.  The report comes from a company (AdMob) that serves ads on mobile websites, and shows, among other things, that "The iPhone OS had 8% market share of handset sales in 2008, but generated 43% share of mobile Web requests in April 2009."  The charts you'll find when you click through make this a really stark number, and makes me feel glad I waited until there was a smart phone able to do what I wanted it to do 🙂
