Opera regains top spot in mobile browser battle

While the iPhone’s Mobile Safari web browser and Opera mobile have been jockeying the numero uno position since ’09 started, the latest results are in showing that Opera has once again surpassed the iPhone in mobile web browsing market share.  The reason?  Who knows the real reason, other than Opera saw a sharp increase in web usage, accounting for a 24.6% share of the mobile web market.  The iPhone on the other hand fell to 17.9%.  Such statistics may be boring to look at but show that while the iPhone is often regarded as “the” phone to browse the web on, many other devices and users are beginning to join the mobile web.  Of course, it’s worth noting that the iPhone and Mobile Safari are currently available on only 2 phones.  Opera on the other hand is available for dozens of units giving it as some would say, an unfair advantage.  Take it how you want it, I’m merely the messenger.
