Mobile Operating System (based on browsing): Android: 39% (up 2%) iOS: 49% (up 8%) Blackberry: 3% (down 6%) Windows: 1.3% (up 0.4%) Despite the large number of people buying Android phones, iPhones are still more likely to be browsing your site. Blackberry continues to plummet and Windows Mobile isn’t gaining much traction yet. Keep in mind these numbers are for North America and would likely show higher Android numbers for other markets.
Mobile Browsing vs. Desktop Browsing: 13% mobile (up 5%) 13% of the market share is mobile phones. That doesn’t include tablets. If you did the total would be 19%. This is why it is so important to have a mobile strategy for your website. Source: Sitecore.netThe Conclusion
