The latest report from AdMob reveals that T-Mobile (NYSE: DT)’s G1 has claimed a solid 5.2% of the American smartphone web surfers. It’s a far cry from the iPhone’s 50%, but hey, a good start for the little guy, no? Worldwide, Symbian still rules, but their share is rapidly dropping, and Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s is on a meteoric rise. The BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) OS holds third place with a modest 10%, while Windows Mobile (7%) and Palm (NSDQ: PALM) (3%) take up the rear. In terms of device usage in the U.S., the BlackBerry Storm is surprisingly high up on the list, nabbing the number 7 spot, while its veteran brothers, the original Curve 8300 and Pearl 8100 nab second and third places respectively. When zoomed out to encompass worldwide stats, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is unsurprisingly dominant on the top 10 list.
