  • De Nova

    • 10 out of 10
    • The Redwalls
    • Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

  • Mezzanine

    • 6 out of 10
    • Massive Attack

    • "Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.

  • The Last 5 Years (2002 Off-Broadway Cast)

    • 10 out of 10
    • Jason Robert Brown
    • The soundtrack to this moving off-broadway musical is heart moving. The lyrics follow a couple in a relationship for five years, one point of view going forward in time, and the other tracing time fr

    • Spoon

    • Gimme Fiction by Spoon is a terrific album by an Austin band that I was lucky enough to catch on an Austin radio station during a Christmas visit.

  • Rift

    • 8 out of 10
    • Phish
    • This quasi-concept album (the only of its kind) from these Vermonters finally showcased their ability to convey a message with a studio album, whereas previously they only succeeded in doing so live.

Mobile Safari Usage Jumps 64% Since December

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet

Usage of Apple’s Mobile Safari, the Web browser found on the iPhone and iPod touch, is on the climb with a 64 percent jump from December 2007 to March 2008 in the United States. According to data from StatCounter, Mobile Safari’s U.S. market share went from 0.14 percent in December to 0.23 percent in March.

Global usage for Mobile Safari was up, too, more than doubling from 0.03 percent of the market up to 0.08 percent during the same period.

The figures indicate that the browser is now the top mobile browser in the U.S., and the number two mobile browser world wide. The top mobile browser is currently Nokia’s with 0.25 percent of the global market.

StatCounter CEO Aodhan Cullen commented "The key message is that iPhone is more than living up to its claims of being a user friendly Internet browser, unlike many other cell phones."

Mobile Safari’s market growth is good news for Apple and iPhone users, but the numbers are still small compared to the desktop browser market. In February, for example, Safari held 5.7 percent of the market, while Firefox grabbed 17.27 percent, and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer took 74.88 percent.
