0.7% of webvisits via mobile devices

A benchmark research of 20 Dutch websites concludes that 0.7% of all internet traffic takes place via mobile devices. The devices include mobile phones, mobile music and media portable games. The Apple iPhone is currently by far the most common device to visit websites. More than half of the mobile internet hits (53%) in the benchmark study is done with an Apple iPhone. Other operating systems that frequently occur include: Windows, SymbianOS, iPod, Blackberry and Android. This top 6 is the same on almost all sites in the research. The share of mobile users in the total internet visits varies heavily per website. In the benchmark it is between 0.3% and 1.2%.

The gaming platforms (Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3) are also used to visit websites. Their share in total numbers of visitors is still very limited (0.02%).

In the benchmark research Netprofiler has analyzed the Google Analytics statistics from 20 Dutch websites (news, e-commerce, travel, jobs, events). Only visits with browser width of less than 700 pixels are in the research. These are almost certainly mobile devices. The visits per operation system in the fourth quarter of 2009 are analyzed. Here is a weighted average determined.
