According to NetApplications, iPhone browsing marketshare is on a strong upward trend since the release of iPhone 3G (no surprise there). What is interesting is the usage patterns by day. If our calculations are correct, iPhone usage on the weekends sees a 50-70% spike.
That means that iPhone users might be *gasp* using their iPhones for pleasure and not just work. We'd expect to see an opposite trend for corporate email-focused devices such as blackberries.

It shows mainly when people are not in front of their office...
The usage pattern isn't about private vs. business use primarily, but about what percentage of the time people are stuck in the office and use the computer there rather than the iPhone.
Seriously, you're not going to look stuff up with Safari on the iPhone when you have a 17"+ screen in front of you, are you?
Most mobile business tools are mostly used for private use, the business use is justified because *when* you need it for business, you really need it. Nobody cares if the rest of the time you use it to look up movie show times or restaurant locations.
