Mobile Device Usage Up Sharply

Strictly by the Numbers
No matter how you look it, the data from our web and network logs is compelling and even a bit alarming.
Consider the following about our Wi-Fi network last month:
- Total devices grew by more than 7%.
- Smart Mobile devices (think iPhone, Windows Mobile, etc) increased by 16%.
- 1 in 8 devices is a Smart Mobile device.
- We’ve seen nearly 90,000 unique devices on Wi-Fi since October, 2007.
- iPhone/iPod Touch use grew by over 22%.
- 1 in 12 devices is an iPhone or iPod Touch.
- Macs now account for 23% of Wi-Fi devices.
In any month these numbers would be extraordinary, but this was a summer month. A month when many students, faculty and staff are away. School starts again in a week, I wonder what the next couple of months will bring.
Let me know what you think.
In the mean time, I’ve updated the UW Mobile Usage Stats for your viewing pleasure.

We are on the cusp of making great strides towards the promise of mobility. This isn't a site about me, but rather I wanted a place where people can come to learn and talk about how the promise is being realized.
