Here are the mobile browser statistics according to StatCounter for April 2011 as well as Q1 2011. Little change; boring entry.
In April 2011 Safari and Opera gained 1 point, and BlackBerry and Samsung lost 1 point. That’s all.

Samsung’s loss surprises me; according to theory it should be a global winner. But maybe it’s a statistical artifact that will be corrected next month.
Then the Q1 2011 stats; I could have published these last month but I forgot due to my impending travels.
Here we see a shift towards Android and Safari, while BlackBerry loses ground. It’s clear now that BlackBerry’s 18% in Q4 2010 was its high-water mark, and that it is going down. Meanwhile Android remains the big winner (again 3 points growth), while Safari and Nokia remain roughly stable and Opera loses very slowly.
The struggle for the third place remains unpredictable: Nokia leads now, where last quarter it was BlackBerry. Despite its growth Android does not seem to be able to move beyond place 4. But maybe next quarter.
