Quote:Opera surpasses Safari in global mobile browser market share
I'm no expert but doesn't it make sense that Opera mobile will be used more than Safari mobile. It's not like the majority of the world owns iPhone's or iPod touches. I would think the majority of the world use windows mobile phones and everything else. Such phones can only install browsers like Opera which is as close as we will get to iPhone's Safari (excluding Palm Pre). To my knowledge you cannot Download and install Safari for other phones (I could be wrong I'm sure someone will correct me) so until then Opera will be used more. Unless the world suddenly becomes iPhone crazy LOL :-P
