Opera conveniently distorted numbers to make these claims. For example: Opera's market share : 20% iPhone browser : 17.5 iPod browser : 5.9% Total iOS browser share: 23% this alone is higher than Opera (iPod and iPhone have the same browser. ). Total marketshare for WebKit based browsers is 65% (iOS + Nokia + Android+ Blackberry).
