State of the Mobile Web by Opera
Are you still wondering what sites are most mobile web surfers are used to visit? My big thanks if you say yes on this issue. Today, Opera, the creator of most popular mobile browser on earth has just released a cool report on this case. They call it “State of the Mobile Web, June 2008“.
Their CEO, Jon S. von Tetzchner, said on that document,
We see that accessing the Web on mobile phones is a way for people who have never been able to access the Web, or have a difficult time finding convenient or affordable access, to get the Web on their terms. Mobile Web access allows many people to explore beyond the boundaries of their world, uncover new cultures and ideas, and let them add their voices to the conversation.
Well, for this moment on, I believe that Opera will still be the major mobile browser for most users in this world. But on the next decade, nobody can predict it very well since we are now facing the changing of mobile platform industry. You know what I mean; more SDK, new platform, more smartphones, the rise of concept phone, etc.
For a brief description on this report. Here are some statistic from three Asia countries which have been included on that document.

Besides these three countries, Opera are also collecting data from Russia, Ukraine, US, UK, South Africa, Germany, and Poland. Hmmm, they did it wisely. Very cool. Five continents were got covered.

Nokia phones are the best phone investment that you could make. Year after year they have been providing quality phones for consumers. Unfortunately the new Nokia phones can cost you an arm and a leg, especially an unlocked Nokia 5300. I found a great site to find unlocked Nokia cell phones from auctions. I bought 2 Nokia 5300 cell phones for me and my wife, and we love them. Check them out at Unlocked Nokia Cell Phone Auctions. Just my 2 cents.
