Mobile internet? It ain't just for the iPhone

'Dumb' handsets involved in half of sessions

"Statistics released by mobile software company Novarra show that it's not just owners of status-symbol handsets who are surfing the internet these days, with around half the mobile sessions coming from "dumb" handsets.

The figures only cover networks that have deployed Novarra's software, which pre-loads content and optimises it for the receiving device, as well as logging customers' internet usage. Novarra reckons the product opens up the internet to dumb handsets, and presents the figures to prove it, though the company prefers to talk about "Multitasking Parents" and "Mobile Millennials" rather than raw statistics.

When it comes to data the company tells us that mobile users are typically diverse: the top 500 sites visited account for less than thirty per cent of sessions, so everyone is going their own way. Sessions are split between those lasting less than five minutes (40 per cent), and those longer than 15 minutes (also 40 per cent), indicating a clear division between those looking for specific data and those stuck in a meeting."
