Updated mobile usage stats

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update of our "mobile" usage stats for those (geeks) out there who are interested in such data. About a year ago (July 19th 2010) the following was the breakdown of mobile device usage and mobile users comprised just over 3% of total visitors to our website.
Device typePercentage of users
iPod37.6%
iPhone24.6%
Symbian (Nokia etc)18.0%
iPad (not even officially on sale in NZ yet)7.9%
Android7.5%
Blackberry2.1%
Windows Mobile1.5%
Others (PSP etc) combinedless than 1%
As of today (again statistics from the preceding month) the following was the breakdown of mobile operating systems used to access our website. Mobile devices comprised 9.5% of total visits to our website in the last month.
Device typePercentage of users
Android35.1%
iPhone29.8%
iPod18.9%
iPad12.8%
Symbian1.3%
Blackberry1.2%
Others (PSP, Windows etc) combinedless than 1%
So it seems pretty clear that 1. usage of mobile devices to access the internet is increasing; and 2. Android is growing in popularity phenomenally quickly!

Being somewhat geeky ourselves we have a good selection of most of the devices listed above and can certainly vouch for the convenience and usability of mobile devices. I expect their usage will continue to increase.

Hope the school holidays are being appreciated by all.
