It seems that one of Santa's favorite gifts this year was Apple's Swiss army knife device, the wondrous iPhone.

I woke up on Boxing Day (which coincidentally is also my son's birthday) to discover that the traffic to the iPhone version of AOL Mobile Search doubled on Christmas Day. It seems all those Christmas gifts got unwrapped and everybody started searching.

We did not see a similar increase in traffic for our Blackberry, Windows Mobile or other versions of Mobile Search that day. So if you're following the mobile wars between Apple, RIM, Nokia and Microsoft it looks like Cupertino has the lead.

Based on our logs here's what's most popular among the new iPhone crowd:

Most Popular Application: AIM
Most Popular Web Site: MySpace
Most Popular Celebrity: Jennifer Aniston
Most Popular Gift: Stanley Tools
Most Popular Xmas site: Santa Tracker

If you're a new iPhone user, we'd love to hear what you think of AOL Mobile Search. Leave a comment and let us know!
