Google Owns 98.29% of Mobile Search Market
Jul 29th
All your mobile search are belong to Google.
According to a recent report from Statcounter, Google commands 98.29 percent of the mobile search market while their next closest competitor, Yahoo, sits at .81 percent. Bing comes in third with .46 percent, the same as “other” combined search engines. It’s worth pointing out that Google’s mobile share is higher than that of the desktop market while its competition is actually lower. Sounds like people on the go really love Big G.
Looking back a year ago, Google’s mobile search share was at 95.58 percent. Where will we be this time next year?
Our advice to AT&T is this: Go ahead and load Yahoo! and Bing onto your devices. Giving users choice is awesome and we applaud that. Just don’t be surprised when customers continue choosing Google.

iOS 4 features: Search the Web, Wikipedia
Jul 22nd
While iOS 3 (iPhone 3.0) introduced Spotlight search for on-device information like contacts, songs, and apps, iOS 4 examples Spotlight to search the Web and Wikipedia as well.
From the main home screen, just swipe to move left to Spotlight, or click the home button to toggle to it, and start typing your search. You may see the aforementioned local results start to pop up but you’ll also see a Safari icon saying Search Web and a curiously blank icon saying Search Wikipedia.
Tap those and Spotlight fades, Safari comes up, and you’re off and searching the internet.
Already familiar with this? Then let us know if you’re using it and how it’s working for you. Any advantage to just going straight to Safari or tapping open a Wikipedia app?
