People still love using the Mobile Safari browser on the iPhone and the iPod Touch is the – maybe not very shocking – news out of a new StatCounter report:

StatCounter reports that usage of the Mobile Safari Web browser included on the iPhone and iPod touch in the United States increased by 64 percent between December and March.

The browser’s share of the global Internet browser market more than doubled in the same period, from 0.03 percent to 0.08 percent.

From December to March, Mobile Safari’s browser market share in the U.S. jumped from 0.14 percent to 0.23 percent. StatCounter said that the iPhone is now the number one mobile browser in the United States, and number two globally — Nokia still leads in the global market, 0.25 percent to 0.08 percent — however, the iPhone is only available in select international markets.

I’d say that doubling of the global market share is the most impressive number, given the tiny number of countries where the iPhone is (officially) on sale.  You have to imagine that number is just going to keep getting crazier as Apple rolls it out into new markets …
