I could be wrong, but if I am then it would be a weird thing to do - it would mean that Statcounter doesn't list iPad usage anywhere (eg, the other browser-by-version graphs exclude mobile Safari)
For the last three days: iOS = 19.98%, iPhone = 15.14% , iPod Touch = 4.76% , iPhone + iPod Touch = 19.90%.
The difference is only 0.08% of mobile usage, so either they don't count iPad usage as part of Mobile at all and that's just a rounding error, or they count it as drastically lower than the 1% (of all browsing, not just mobile) that other sources are quoting for iPad browser share.
Actually, you can tell they do count iPad as part of the normal, non-mobile, browser graph. It's small enough that it gets bundled into "Other" on the browser versions graph, but if you download the CSV data it's called out separately, currently at 0.73% of all browsing and the total they give for all versions of Safari combined wouldn't add up unless they counted the iPad versions in with the desktop versions.

The gs.statcounter.com stats for iOS only count "mobile" devices, i.e. it excludes iPads.
I've seen this mentioned elsewhere, but I can't see anything on the Statcounter site that confirms it.
http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_browser-ww-monthly-201006-... breaks browser usage for iPod and iPhones out explicitly, and the sum of those both is less than the total iOS usage in http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-ww-monthly-201006-20110...
