2005 Mobile Software Stats Released

An anonymous reader writes "PalmInfoCenter is reporting that Handango has released their 2005 Year End edition of the Handango Yarkstick. This is a general report on the mobile content industry including specifics from five of the top mobile operating systems; Blackberry, Palm OS, Symbian OS, Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone. The site also offers a comparison and look back at 2004's numbers for comparison. A copy of the original report [PDF] can be found on Handago's website."

I'll assume everyone here saw the "Welcome Slashdot Visitor!" message. I've never seen an auto-redirect designed to lessen the effect of being Slashdotted. Perhaps we'll see more of this in the future? I tried to copy the URL, close the browsers, flush the cache, and re-open the URL in a different browser (Firefox vs IE) but got the same thing. They're not using the HTTP header info, possibly cookies?
