“The Web metrics firm Net Applications issued its first survey of the mobile search market overnight Sunday, and Apple’s iPhone emerged with what the report describes as a ‘commanding lead,’ [66.61%]” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.

Elmer-DeWitt continues, “Google’s Android… grabbed more than 6% of mobile web browsing in less than five months. Others came in with comparable shares — Microsoft’s Windows Mobile had 6.91% and Nokia’s Symbian 6.15% – but they’ve been around much longer. The stongest contender among the also-rans with 9.1% was an OS you don’t hear much about: Java ME, a subset of Sun Microsystems’ Java platform popular among developers for creating games and other applications for cell phones.”
“Research in Motion’s BlackBerry share in this survey is so small it is consigned to the catch-all ‘other’ category,” Elmer-DeWitt reports.
