-Mary Meeker, Oct 2009, Web 2.0 conference.
If you're getting this newsletter, Ms. Meeker probably isn't telling you anything you don't already know.
What's interesting is that as the mobile web grows, so does the incredible proliferation of mobile devices and browsers - driving the need for your mobile presence to optimize across multiple handsets.
Globally, there are more than 5,000 devices in play. Ranked by market share for global sales, the top players are
39.3% Nokia
20.8% Research in Motion
17.1% Apple
6.5% HTC
3.2% Samsung
13.1% Others
Under the "Others" category besides the usual mobile suspects (Motorola, LG, etc.) we're seeing everything from the new Android, to Sony Play Stations and the Wii, to the Kindle pop-up on our network.
So, if you thought one or two players is about to take over the mobile web, think again. The Mobile Internet is bigger, and perhaps even broader than most think.
