Yes, a similar figure at http://www.phonewebcam.com/ but with that being (obviously) geared to cellphone users you'll start to see mobile browser market share eat into these figures too.
With this you could start seeing more handsets from almost-players. Think an IBM branded handset, CNN etc. Hell, even McDonalds could do one now the barrier to entry has been lowered so much!
Bzzzt! Hey someone just woke me up:-) Try http://www.phonewebcam.com/ - motion detection w/alerts to handset, all the PC software is free, $7 for a 4 week top up (use it this time, lapse, then top up again if you need it a few months later).
"The attraction of Linux for handset makers is that as the code is not owned by any one company..." thats what Symbian was supposed to be! In reality its a Nokia show. If the new Mobile Linux gets big enough to be a threat you'll just see Symbian going OSS. In fact there are already serious moves in this direction already with Nokias recent announcement of their Symbian Apache port.
This site works over WAP with an Ericsson R380s.
It samples public webcams every 20 minutes. Web users get a neat simulation which renders that smartphone in the browser. The pics are grainy black and white WAP bitmaps (the best the hardware allows) but it is a commercially available GSM phone (in Europe anyway). And the quality??? Hey, did the first radio user complain about the hiss?;-)

They really show Google ads on these pointless pages?
If I did that my adsense account would be terminated.
This is a backdoor way to shut you down as your code uses 'em a-plenty!

Every corp I've been in is exactly the same. Easy to spot because they all like to act out the Life of Brian scene telling you "no, we're different".
Hey c'mon now, they're not that greedy.
Just to thwart the Darwinists.
Nothing to see here, move along...
And phone owners ;-)
