Early this month, Nielsen released some interesting research about the US smartphone market. Their survey shows that nearly 30% of mobile phone users have a smartphone. If you read tech blogs all day you might think that number is a bit low, but it shows how much growth the mobile web still has to go. 

Survey participants that plan on upgrading to a smartphone in the next year clearly preferred either iOS or Android devices. Either way it's great news for mobile web designers, as both have great browser support. It's still a great time to get going with mobile web design.
