Category: Mobile Market    By editor at 00:28
This is amazing. I don't look that much into my stats, so I didn't follow the evolution mobile versus internet on my personal blog. But geez, was I surprised when I saw today, that Nokia is coming right after Internet Explorer and before Mozilla.

Just a thought, but I've seen googlebot pretending to be a 6820 recently (I assume they're looking for mobile content), are most of these hits from Google?

Hi Jim,
I doesn't look like it's the Googlebot, as it is there as well:

1 * 64091 * 24.07% * MSIE 6.0
2 * 35309 * 13.26% * Mozilla/5.0
3 * 33764 * 12.68% * Nokia6820/2.0
4 * 19215 * 7.22% * Nokia6682/2.0
5 * 16522 * 6.21% * Yahoo! Slurp
6 * 13842 * 5.20% * Googlebot/2.1

It is a version of googlebot... meant for Google Mobile. Just was browsing my agents as well, and 50% of googlebot hits in the past 2 hours have been from this new bot. I think it deals with having a mobile robots.txt on the site? Not sure if anyone else has info pertaining to this newer bot.
