And then at least we can see some CSS3 working on IE.

That said, they’re looking increasingly out of date even when compared to a cheaper Android.

Chrome owes much of its success to Windows users.

Looking at the current figures, Chrome has increased by the same percentage IE6/7/8 decreased. User habits are more complex than that and it could be a co-incidence, but the evidence is compelling.

The iPod Touch has 3.51% of the mobile market and is #8 in the chart.

I think if IE was still the default browser on Mac, it would probably still be number 1.

To be more specific, it should be Mobile Safari (for ipad, iphone, ipod touch…)

Android default browser is different from Chrome for Android.
