Smartphones Boost up Mobile Browsing Market

There has been a huge growth in mobile browsers over the last year because of the growing popularity of Smartphones gradually and it has been predicted that the mobile browser market would go up to 1.5 billion units in the world by 2013.

Different companies are coming up with new software for the mobile browsing to provide the users with PC based browsing experience. However, the research also pointed out that it was not yet possible to bridge the gap between mobile browser and PC based browser.

It predicted that, while a large number of phones today still use browsers with very limited web browsing capabilities, growth in the open internet browser (OIB) segment for mobile will increase from 76 million in 2007 to nearly 700 million browsers delivered in 2013.

Michael Wolf, ABI Research director pointed to recently released commercial software from Opera, Openwave and ACCESS, in addition to those that use open source software, like Webkit, are opening up mobile internet to users without the limitations due to the traditional browser constraints of Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) service and its descendents.
