10% Of All Web Traffic Comes From Mobile Devices

We had spotted mobile internet stats and mcommerce stats before. We spotted this today:

"In the U.S., 7.96% of all Web traffic comes from mobile devices, according to data from StatCounter. That includes smartphones, tablets, and other connected hardware, such as laptops with mobile broadband access. StatCounter's data shows that mobile Web use is increasing quickly, especially in developing regions where mobile phones vastly outnumber desktop computers.
For example, the percentage of mobile Web traffic in Asia climbed from 6.1% to 17.84% between 2010 and 2012, an increase of 192%. The percentage of mobile Web traffic in Africa climbed from 5.81% to 14.85% between 2010 and 2012, an increase of 156%. Every region saw increased mobile traffic, with South America falling in last place with 2.86%."
