Its been very slow, so I thought I’d punch up the doldrums with some little bits of news.

In other iPhone news, StatCounter.com has announced that the iPhone is number 2 for web usage in Europe, 2nd only to Nokia. In the US, iPhone web usage far outstrips Nokia usage. Of course, StatCounter is only measuring hits on the sites which they monitor, which they claim is about 2 million. They also mentioned desktop browser usage, seeing Firefox usage encroaching on Internet Explorer’s dominance. Statistics were gathered on 371 million page views from December 2007 to March 2008.
