Doesn’t everyone have an iPhone nowadays?
I mean, phones without the ability to render sweet, rich graphics and media are old and archaic, right? Noooo one has a phone older than a year, if they do – they’re soooo outta touch….

Au contraire, mes amies. PercentMobile, a New York City-based mobile analytics startup is dishing out amazing data weekly that serves as an important reminder that we techies are a small market – and any company with mobile traffic to its desktop and .mobi sites needs to stay on top of not only the percent of mobile users coming to their site, but what devices they’re on, what mobile browser they’re using, where in the world they’re coming from, etc.

And the data about your mobile traffic can be very eye opening…

Based on traffic from Mobile Phones to over 1000 Desktop and Mobile Sites as tracked by PercentMobile from July 21st to August 4th:

* 3% of Desktop-Site Traffic comes from Mobile Phones
