It's not bubious, even though I agree to you comment on MMS.

The data is pretty firm and reported by others – be it data companies like Nielsen/Comscore or private companies. It's one of the reasons why some of the hype behind the Iphone is justified.

@Dilip Dand,
these slides are from a 10min data panel on the mobile web. Jesse Goranson and me gave some brief overview on some trends and attached some numbers to it. We had a US focus and commented on the slides.
* Search is very low on mobile, agreed. This is also the case because it is just too difficult for users to use. This is one of the reasons why there is so much investment in all types of interface/navigation solutions.
* Do not agree with you mobile social network conclusion. The slide says how many users are using mobile social networks, not how big usage is. Mobile social networks continue to be top driver of the off-deck mobile web, we will have another updated piece on that in the short-term.

Agreed. Mobile web penetration is much further in these regions.

An interesting report but we find that users in countries like India, Indonesia and eastern Europe are more engaged with mobile and probably more receptive to well designed mobile services than some of us in the west with shorter attention spans

Hmm, that's interesting, but have you seen any data to support the idea that picture messaging is so prevalent that it would explain such a large discrepancy?

“I find the term rather archaic and inappropriate. The term 'MOBILE Internet' applies more to the device than the Internet per se.”

Sorry, I'm not following this. It seems obvious to me that the term refers to the device, what's wrong with that?

Yes, the absence of Korean and Japan is interesting. Not sure why that is.

All Internet access should be MOBILE internet access. I find the term rather archaic and inappropriate. The term “MOBILE Internet” applies more to the device than the Internet per se.

For certain modes of access (quick email check) or content (some blogs), accessing the web via the iphone has become my PREFERRED means. For example, reading TechCrunch (sorry Matt) is superior in some ways to traditional online edition as the iPhone edition strips out the right hand AD “nav.” This allows me to focus exclusively on the actual content, not all the miscellanea. This keeps me focused, and I find that i can tear thru the articles faster. frankly, if i had the 3G or 4G phone (in asia) i'd ONLY access the web from a desktop/laptop when i needed a key board AND/OR had to toggle between applications. The day I have a hand held that provides me additional screen real estate + desktop apps, is the day I say good bye to my laptop altogether.

This info is worthless without numbers from Korea and Japan. I wonder why Nielsen are not included? Where would the US be ranked or the UK?
