[CODE4LIB] Mobile device usage (iOS vs. Android)

2012-10-30 Thread Park,Go-Woon
I am wondering if any of you can share wisdom of interpreting the mobile device usage statistics. The market trends predict that the number of Android devices are exceeding iOS devices. In my campus, the visits using iOS devices are over 70% of total mobile usage. It is even up from over 65% last

There's fairly well established data on that iOS devices, despite smaller market share, have much higher shares of mobile web usage. A google search for ios web traffic versus android reveals a lot of results in that same 60-70% range you're seeing. The why is probably a wide mix of factors, but

I'm not surprised at all. The market trend report coverage generally runs at least nationwide, if not worldwide. An enormous amount of the worldwide Android adoption is due to non-US mobile device purchases. But locally, I see the majority of our mobile access coming from iPads and iPhones.

Any thought? I guess I'd be somewhat wary of comparing general trends to a more defined population. I'm guessing your campus population is not typical of the national population, instead probably skewed towards a younger population with higher disposable income (and also perhaps more sensitive

Hello list. I hope this finds you well and, dry, and with some power. I'm recently aware of the existence of Google Indoor Mapping which, obviously enough, brings indoor locations (to Google Maps versioned 6.x and higher). The project also offers indoor walking directions. I assume this works

[CODE4LIB] Google Analytics/Do Not Track

After all the hoopla this year it looks as if all the major browsers plan to implement a do not track feature that users can enable. Does anyone know if this will block Google Analytics It's probably too early to tell, but my guess is yes... Thanks, Nathan

We were recently chosen to be a library pilot for the program. We're at the stage that our maps are somewhere in Google's process queue and we're waiting for them to come do a walkthrough for the walking directions. So far I've seen two cons: One, it takes a good while for the maps to be

Salve! One, it takes a good while for the maps to be approved. I actually uploaded ours at the end of last year before they approached us about being a pilot library but I re-uploaded them once we started that process. The re-upload was in August and they're still pending. The site
