Interesting that India and China are such polar opposite of each other. I wonder how Japan would fare on the graphs: while not every mobile has a web browser, email has more or less replaced SMS (which does work, as evidenced by the fact that I can contact friends that way - but never used between themselves).

too bad the job markets dead for mobile developers atm

Really? Not what I've heard from some acquaintances who are in that line of work.

They are even paying decent dosh for silverlight (WP7) devs….

Yea. there is not much mobile dev work out there atm. there mostly short term contract work. there is far more core java and .net stuff
