When you discuss mobile strategy with most folks, almost all of them equate a mobile strategy with launching an iPhone application.  The iPhone has had a huge cultural impact and has changed the way we think about mobile.  However, the reality is that the iPhone has more mindshare than it does market share, and there is a lot more to mobile than the iPhone.  In a recent post, Fred Wilson includes a chart from comScore breaking down the market share for major mobile platforms.

As you think about mobile, you should keep an eye on these numbers and develop a strategy that gets your content in front of the most eyeballs possible.
