>actually just going to a browser on a phone. There are more people doing that than the iPhone and all of Android phones combined, right? So it's actually a pretty diverse ecosystem.

I can't make sense of that quote. More people are on the mobile web version than there are iphones and android phones combined. Either very few people are on native apps, or there are sizable WinPhone and Blackberry componets.

It's not WinPhone and Blackberry that cause this statistic, it's the (literally) billions of featurephones that just have crummy Java applications and a mobile browser. There are twice as many featurephone users in India as there are humans in the United States.
