Most-used mobile browser is S60's native WebKit browser

Don't forget Symbian!

Every S60 Symbian phone since March 2006 has Nokia's Mini Map Browser http://www.nokia.com/browser, based on the open source WebKit engine. Nokia was first to ship a full open source browser -- Apple's iPhone Safari, followed over a year later, followed this year by Google's Chrome Lite -- both based on WebKit.

Today over 45% of all smart phones sold worldwide are S60 devices built on the Symbian mobile OS.
