Interesting mobile stats from kcbt.org

I was playing around with our (http://kcbt.org) google analytics data today and found something interesting.... The mobile devices that hit our website had dramatically changed over a one year period

The first chart shows the mobile traffic by OS from Feb 1, 2010 to Mar 3, 2010 (A one month span from last year)

283 mobile devices hit our site, and clearly the iPhone had taken the lead. Android although in second place, was a spec compared to the iPhone stats.

The following show the mobile traffic by OS from Feb 1, 2011 to Mar 3, 2011 (A one month span from this year)

1766 mobile devices hit our site, that's 525% growth! Android has climbed to 877, a growth of 2148%. While iPhones have grown 105%. If we factor in all iDevices (just for fun) Apple has experience a growth of 247%. Impressive but you can't touch that Android growth with a 10 foot pole.  It's important to note  also that this is after the Nexus One had hit the market so although I can't give exact figures, there were several different Android phones available.

I'm not even going to mention the PalmOS thing, but 

Don't get me wrong I love my iThings, but you really can't ignore those numbers.

If my math is way off, somebody let me know... I calculated % change via: Percent Change = (value at end of period - value at beginning of period) / value at beginning of period * 100
