The new Net Applications NetMarketShare report says that the iPad now accounts for over 1% of worldwide web browsing and 2.1% in the US. Moreover the figures suggest mobile browsing is on the rise all around the world, accounting for 5% globally and more than 8.2% in the U.S. of A.
iPad mobile web usage has been climbing steadily with February being the only exception. Apparently the reason for the drop in use is accounted to holiday buyers cooling down a bit.
Together all iOS-based devices (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) command two-thirds of all US mobile browsing, and are followed by Android and BlackBerry users with 31.6% and 7%, respectively.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
