Apple's iPhone and iPod touch still account for more mobile web consumption than all other devices combined, according to May data released Friday by Quantcast. The Apple devices generated 58.8% of mobile Web traffic last month, with BlackBerry handsets being the next closest, at 10.4%, just ahead of Motorola (10%). HTC was fourth, at 9.2%.
