Google iPhone usage shocks search giant

Google on Wednesday said it has seen 50 times more search requests 
coming from Apple iPhones than any other mobile handset -- a 
revelation so astonishing that the company originally suspected it had 
made an error culling its own data.

"We thought it was a mistake and made our engineers check the logs 
again," Vic Gundotra

Gundotra believes the 
number of mobile searches could outpace fixed internet search "within 
the next several years."

That of course means big increases in incremental advertising revenues 
for the Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant. Though Google's 
primary revenue driver remains online advertising, the company has 
never separated out its mobile revenues from those of traditional 
computer-based browsers.
