Now this is interesting: Media Bistro’s Morning News Feed points to a story in Wired.com that reports 26% of the mobile devices accessing Wired.com are coming from the iPad.
Also interesting, reporter Dylan Tweney points out this is happening despite the fact that Wired.com has relied mostly on an Adobe Flash-based player for video which iPad doesn’t support. They are addressing that at Wired.com, beginning with the Homepage, which became iPad-compatible this week. Good plan, it would appear.
One could expect that Wired.com readers would be preternaturally inclined toward iPads. Equally, however, one could expect they would be uncompromising with regard to the incompatability of iPad’s video architecture. Meaning, if there are to be any iPad burnings down the road they might start with Wired.com’s dedicated audience.
So, this is interesting. Let’s see what next month’s mobile accessing numbers looks like, post Wired.com player updates.
Interesting.
