More and more people are surfing the Internet from their phones these days. Take a look at the following graph. It shows the number of monthly visits to googlestore.com from Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry devices over the past 2 years. There were 277 visits in Sep, 2008.

If you’ve been considering whether to create a mobile site, you may want to check out the Mobile Devices report in the Visitors section.
