These statistics are very misleading. In actual fact Android is far from beating the iPhone in web metrics and Blackberry is far behind.

Bango asserts that the Blackberry grabbed 37% of “mobile web browsing” marketshare compared to 27% for Android and only 26% from the iPhone.

Now you may ask, how the heck did Blackberry users suffering with their shockingly bad web browsers manage to beat both Android and iPhone users at web browsing?

Well, the answer is they didn’t. Bango is only measuring a selection of bandwidth limited WAP and mobile web sites whereas the vast majority of iPhone and Android users browse full web sites with their excellent webkit browsers.

This is confirmed by Millennial’s July 2010 report that indicated iPhone users as usual had captured 55% of web browsing amongst smartphones vs 19% for Android, 16% for Blackberry and only 4% for Windows Mobile.

Likewise Admob’s April 2010 figures put iOS at 40% vs Android at 26% vs Blackberry at 5%.

Net Applications WebMetrics analysis indicated that the iPhone actually gained more global share than Android in May 2010 (pre-iPhone 4 no less), going from 30.3 percent to 32.8 percent. In the same timeframe, Android went from 5.3 percent to 6.2 percent. Blackberry captured a measly 3.59%.

Note that these stats don’t include the 2 other members of the iOS platform, the iPad and the iPod Touch, which would almost double the share taken by the iPhone.

In other words, Android is still being beaten by the iPhone in web browsing marketshare, not surprising considering the installed base of iOS devices (100 million+) far exceeds that of Android and Blackberry is MIA
