Your numbers do not make sense. If Android's 33% and iOS's 23% include tablets and we remove tablets, then Android's numbers will not decrease much. As you have said, there are fewer Android tablets than iOS tablets. So removing tablets would increase the relative market share of Android and not reduce it. So if you remove tablets, you would not expect "Android 35% iOS 57%", but would instead expect something like Android 43% iOS 13% (numbers made up). EDIT: Also following the trend, it is clear that more and more people are using Android for web browsing every week. This implies that the 40%+ more Android web usage will quickly increase. EDIT2: The issue of tablets is irrelevant to statcounter's stats, as the iPad and other android tablets are not included. Leaving the comment above as it is still technically correct if the post above were to be correct... http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2012/07/whos-ahead-in-mobile-and-browsers-depends-on-who-you-ask/ http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2012/07/whos-ahead-in-mobile-...

You are right, I said the reverse of what I meant to say w.r.t. tablet numbers there. Those numbers were real though (measured in the UK over the past month, phones only). My main point though, was that there are far more Android phones than there are iPhones, so even though there is more Android browser traffic, the average Android user will browse less (but that's mostly because there are so many low-end Android devices that water down the browsing habits of high-end users on shiny Galaxies and Nexuses).
