What's this? The iPhone makes using the internet on your phone easy?! I never saw it coming...
Apple is VERY well known for making an idea that was done poorly previously work like a charm. This is no news to anyone who knows anything about the techworld. However, it's good to see documentable figures supporting this, and it's not just people drinking some PR dept's. Kool-Aid.

Okay so it hit #1 for 1 Day, what is the #1 again? Nokia or Blackberry? Since it doesn't say whom was #1 before the iPhone hit it for one day and further doesn't answer the first question.

It says in the article that the iPhone went to the #1 spot then settled in at the #2 spot in the first sentence. This is phenomenal, seeing as Nokia has about 50 times the number of phones sold, and when you add Blackberry, this is doubly phenomenal.
Ah yes, Apple does it again and confirms what we Mac users have so smugly asserted for so many years: Apple Gets It!
I'll be buying my first iPhone tomorrow after the Macworld keynote is finished. I wanted to be sure I didn't buy an iPhone just before any new hardware updates for it came out. Can't wait. What would be fabulous is a second camera facing the user so that the iPhone could be used as a video phone. It would also make it possible to let others see exactly what you're talking about as you speak, a rudimentary remote video camera.

The article corroborates a netapplications report showing the same thing. However, I was very entertained at how analyst Avi Greengart makes himself out to be a complete moron with his "analysis". If I were the author of this piece, I'd throw his number in the trash.
He basically lists the reasons for the iPhone's web usage share as follows...
* Apple has "done a remarkable job of publicizing some of these capabilities" and "either because of ...PR" etc.
Let me get this straight. Because Apple claims it's a better web browsing experience, more people actually use the web browser at a scale that beats a 50:1 market share?
2. Design.
All right, now he's making sense. The fact that Apple designed a usable device but, oh, wait...no...he actually didn't mean it that way. At the very end, he states "or in all possibility because of the implementation" which proves that his idea of "design" is purely the physical form factor.
He really struggles to state what's obvious to anyone who has touched an iPhone. Has he ever used the web browser on a Blackberry/Treo? Unless the Treo browser had a feature where you get paid $1 per page view, you couldn't expect to get near the 50:1 type of share that the iPhone has.
