Monitoring web traffic is a dicey thing and sometimes it’s hard to determine if traffic statistics are meaningful. Traffic monitor Net Applications has released their mobile web traffic numbers for February and they are surprising to say the least.

It’s pretty much a given that iPhone owners do a lot of web browsing on their phones, the iPhone is designed for that. Knowing that going in still doesn’t prepare me for the statistic showing that iPhone web browsing accounts for 66% of all mobile web browsing. That’s just a huge share and I’m not sure what to make of it. Equally surprising is that the G1 Android phone has already gained a 6% share, matching that of Symbian-based phones. While it’s no surprise that the BlackBerry browsing share is low, I expected it to be more than the 2.24% that is showing here.

The latest Peter Aloisson blinged iPhone was rumored to worth $2.5 million but excuse me, it’s only $2.4 million but this is already the SALE price. The 3G iPhone is an 18-carat gold with 160 small diamonds and to compensate its name “King’s Button”, the home button is a 6.6-carat behemoth! I bet only those financial-crisis-exempted can afford this jeweled iPhone!

Goldfish iPhone???

Phone users might be ‘cool’ but there’s something of the goldfish about them when it comes to attention spans.

At least according to the latest survey data from Pinch Media which sifted through data from 30 million downloads from the Apple App Store only to find that just 30% of those who buy iPhone apps use them the following day.

Things get even worse after that. Within 20 days, only 5% of those who bought an application are still using it. Unsurprisingly, the drop-off for free apps is even worse than those that people pay for.
