Log Files Show iPad Visits Increasing

I use Google Analytics to get a very thorough view of my Web site (I also use Urchin for more general statistics). For the latest 30 days, about 11% of my monthly visits are from one of 10 mobile devices tracked by Google, a figure that has been increasing the past three months. The iPhone is the most common mobile device, with about 56% of all mobile visits, while at the bottom, Sony devices have made just three visits total. Most interestingly, for the period of May 11 to June 10, the iPad contributed 36% of the visits by mobile devices, putting it in the #2 slot. And that percentage is a sharp increase from when the iPad was first introduced. Other mobile devices accessing IFO in order were the iPod, Android, BlackBerry, SymbianOS, Windows, Danger Hiptop and Samsung. Here are the mobile stats for IFO in the past four months:

I should note that I also implemented a special theme for smartphone browsers earlier this year, providing a much more compact and fast interface. This change may have encouraged more visitors to use their iPhone when visiting IFO, leading some part of the mobile traffic increase.
