Mobile Web Surfing - We've Been Ready Forever

There has been an explosion of mobile devices that can access the Internet. Mobile Internet access began before the iPhone, but prior to Apple's introduction of this landmark device, most mobile web users were accessing the Internet on devices designed specially for business, specifically smart phones from Blackberry and Palm. But then Apple made mobile web access a consumer game as well.

And once Google entered the mobile scene with their Android operating system, consumer mobile web access shot up again. According to a report from big data analyst Flurry, Android and iOS, smart phones have captured a 55 percent share of the U.S. smart phone market.

Of course, mobile isn't confined just to smart phones. In February of 2012, Apple's Tim Cook mentioned that Apple had sold 55 million iPads to-date, and Google and others have entered this arena as well.
