Opera Beats Safari? Depends How You Interpret The Stats

"The latest news in mobile browsers suggests that Opera has surpassed the iPhone as the current king in the mobile browser space. But sometimes there are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics."

The problem with their news announcing Opera has bested Safari is that they aren't doing valid comparison. For the Opera figures, they include all devices running Opera, yet for Safari are only including the iPhone, not the iPod Touch. When they include the iPod Touch, Safari is clearly the frontrunner. The article said "all devices" and not specifically smartphones, so it seems fair that for comparison sake they should include iPod Touch in the stats.
