According to Market Share by Net Applications, this past holiday season saw a huge increase in mobile web usage. Which OS saw the biggest increase? That’s right, Android. Before I go much further, here’s the official numbers:

“Mobile O/SPercentage Gain (November – December)
Android +54.8%
Blackberry +22.2%
iPhone +20.1%
Symbian +19.0%
Java ME +15.6%”

As you can see Android not only took the top spot but did so by a huge margin. These numbers are definitely not sheer luck. They match up perfectly with the release of the Droid, it’s great advertising campaign, and the marking of Android handsets being available in three of the four major US carrier’s lineups. Android mobile browsing usage has been steadily going up since it’s release but hasn’t seen a jump this big yet, let’s hope it keeps going.
