(I’ve been busy this week with some internal projects and the email tread-mill and other hoopla, hence, the Numbers<\/a> this week are very slim.)<\/p>\n

While we “don’t do numbers” at RedMonk, I come across many interesting numbers each week. Here are some:<\/p>\n

Mobile: It’s gonna be big, bro’!<\/a><\/h2>\n

\nThe big finding is that mobile access to the Internet has jumped 34 percent compared to last year<\/a><\/strong>, and it looks like women, teens and, yes, seniors make up the bulk of that increase<\/strong>. The mobile Internet: not just a place for 20-something men anymore. Darn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, see The Economist<\/i> on the uptick in mobile related cash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Windows Mobile, the numbers saga continues<\/a><\/h2>\n

Windows Mobile now runs on 27.7 million smartphones and is projected to be in use on some 67.9 million smartphones in 2013<\/strong>, iSuppli said today. The 2013 forecast means that Windows Mobile would have a 15 percent share of the global smartphone market by then<\/strong>, second to the Symbian OS, which would have a 47 percent market share<\/strong>.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, iPhone numbers can be a bit suspicious<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Texas T<\/a><\/h2>\n

\nThe amount of venture capital invested in Texas in Q3 totaled around $363.97M<\/strong>, according to an analysis by Texastechpulse of venture deals in our venture database. According to our analysis, investments were up from the $282M invested in Q2 of this year<\/strong>.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

VCs in General<\/a><\/h2>\n

Overall, venture-backed liquidity (the combination of mergers, acquisitions, and initial public offerings) added up to $2.7 billion<\/strong>, down 49 percent from the same period last year<\/strong>, VentureSource says. It\u2019s even a drop from the $3 billion of venture liquidity earned in Q2<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That said, large tech companies are starting to lay-out cash for other tech companies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The New Tech Trade Rags<\/a><\/h2>\n

Since May, the TechCrunch network has added nearly 3 million additional readers and 6 million pages views<\/strong>. Our September audience stats now stand at more than 10.5 million unique readers<\/strong> (7 million from our sites and 3.5 million from RSS<\/strong>) and more than 22 million page views<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I’m big in China.”<\/a><\/h2>\n

\nThe survey of more than 400 developers<\/strong> also showed that the open source database MySQL is closing the lead that SQL has in emerging markets [of China, India, Eastern Europe, and Latin America
\n]. According to the survey, more than 50 percent of developers in the emerging market countries said they are using Microsoft\u2019s SQL Server<\/strong>, but 46 percent said they are using MySQL<\/strong>.\u00a0 MySQL is slightly stronger in India and Latin America, but Microsoft’s SQL Server leads in China and Latin America, Evans Data officials said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
