Android despite is increasingly popularity around the globe accounted for more than 50% of mobile web traffic in just one country, South Korea. There it managed to wratchet up a very impressive 78.3% share. Austria came second with 27.3%, Taiwan third with 26.5% and Denmark in fourth with 25.3% of its mobile web traffic originating from Android handsets.

By contrast Symbian accounted for 1.36% of American mobile web traffic.
