Browser of choice? I don't think so.
When it comes pre-loaded with the os
its no longer a choice. Especially since
a lot of phone users have no idea there are other browsers.
Android is a browser now? Uhh, I run Opera on my Android! Does that mean I've put a browser in a browser, so I can browse while I browse?
Perhaps they mean WebKit. Oh wait, that's not just Android.
They don't even spell the name of their own stats package right in the article: StartCounter? StatCounter?
Also, anything called Phandroid is likely to be slightly biased.

Android's browser is called Browser, it's not hard to see why some might call it just "Android" instead of "the Android Browser".
I wonder why the iPod Touch & iPhone are listed separately on that graph (the iPad isn't even listed, I'm not sure if it's included within iPhone or not). If they were combined, Mobile Safari would be ahead by a few percent.
Really this means a form of Chrome will become the mobile browser, right? Since, at least as I understand it, Chrome is going to be taking over the role of the stock Android Browser? (The beta has worked amazingly well for me on ICS)
now imagine if only they released chrome as the default browser on android since v1.0 in 2008... I wonder how much larger would Chrome's share be now...
