"Significant traffic" seen for Android

Early adoption said to be strong

3 November 2008 15:54 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

A "surge" in early adoption of the T-Mobile G1 is being reported by a web analytics company that has support for Google Android tracking.

WebTrends says that during the first few days of the Android-based handset's availability, digital businesses such as Telegraph Media Group, publishers of The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph and Telegraph.co.uk, have seen "significant traffic" from the G1 handset.

To date, a new Google Android application available at Telegraph.co.uk/mobile has generated more than 5000 downloads and nearly 31,000 visits.

"Part of Android's cachet is its encouragement of third-party development due to the openness of its platform. As a result, many businesses are already creating applications to increase brand awareness and engagement", said Nick Sharp, VP of WebTrends.
