Opera: State of the Mobile Web September 2009: Half a billion page views every day

Opera has released their monthly “State of the Mobile Web” report that highlights how Opera Mini users are as addicting to web surfing as teenage girls are to pop music with sexually suggestive lyrics. I’ve been a long time Opera Mini user, and have written a lengthy review of their latest beta of Opera Mini 5, so with my fanboi credentials in hand, time to quote some statistics:

• “This month, we passed two major milestones: more than 500 million page-views per day, on average, and more than 2 petabytes of data processed by our servers every month.” – Opera CEO Jon S. von Tetzchner
• In September 2009, Opera Mini had over 35.6 million users, an 11.5% increase from August 2009 and more than 150% compared to September 2008.
• Opera Mini users viewed nearly 15 billion pages in September 2009. Since August, page-views have gone up 7.2%. Since September 2008, page-views have increased 230%.
• In September 2009, Opera Mini users generated nearly 227 million MB [Note: That is 221,680 GB] of data for operators worldwide. Since August, the data consumed went up by 8.7%. Since September 2008, data traffic is up 224%.
