Opera has just released it’s market wise report on usage of mobile browser and here are a few interesting findings for India:
Around 48.9% of traffic from Indian Opera users goes to social networking sites and the top 10 sites Indians visit on their mobile phone are:
- www.orkut.com
- www.google.com
- in.m.yahoo.com
- www.peperonity.com
- gallery.mobile9.com
- www.mocospace.com
- www.160by2.com [review]

Mixed trend, right? Worldwide trend is pretty much the same, i.e.:
- Social networking is popular worldwide and is the leading source of Web traffic for mobile devices.
- Consumers desire a rich Web experience regardless of the device they use to access the Web. WAP continues to diminish as more-capable Web browsers are able to display full Web content on mobile phones.
- Nearly a quarter of all traffic is headed to content portals or search engines.
