Regarding the new Google Analytics for Mobile, we constantly run the latest versions of both Bango Analytics and Google Analytics on http://mobislim.com. At the moment Google has not improved the accuracy of their mobile data recording. Their new additions do help with mobile as their old JavaScript centric code failed on most mobile devices and actually prevented sites displaying on some mobile browsers. But even though they now support image tags they don’t get visitor identity from mobile partnerships in the same way as Bango.

Go grab a free Bango trial from http://bango.com/analytics and check it out for yourself.

I used Operating System, excluded Windows, Mac, Not Set. It seems better suited.

I think excluding browsers is a better method than screen resolution.

Hello,

Have you tried the new Google Anaytics for Mobile?

Do you think it is a workable solution compared to Bango?

Best regards,

This segment is not taking care of 360×640 and 640×360 screen resolutions (it’s on Nokia 5800), it would be great if you could update your regex.

Thanks for the work. I’ve found a few of your posts quite useful. However, I have a bit of a hard time believing the GA numbers. In particular, the iPhone vs. the iPod Touch. The browser/cookie/JavaScript support is identical between the two, so there is no reason that GA shouldn’t count both of them. Perhaps it has something to do with the Advanced Segment regular expression rather than GA not recognizing them? I’m not sure how the phone vs. iPod touch reports screen size, especially in landscape vs. portrait mode? I know there are plenty of feature-phones that don’t get counted in GA due to lack of JS/Cookies, but I don’t believe the iPhone is one of them.

[...] Google Analytics provides a segment for iPhone users, but a broader mobile segment for analysing this traffic would be preferential. The most obvious way to construct this segment is by grouping together the different types of mobile browsers currently on offer, but this list is ever-changing and many of these browsers are poor at executing JavaScript: mobile data will be missed altogether and the segment will be less accurate.

Interesting comparison Bryson, the team here at Bango spend a lot of time focused on collecting the best possible real-time data about mobile visitors to websites, so it’s good to see our product living up to expectation.

I just wanted to thank you for pointing out the iPod Touch anomaly and let you know that the cause of this has now been located and corrected. Feel free to confirm this via http://bango.com.

Regards

Andy.
