Amethon Mobile Portal Analytics is an application designed to work specifically with mobile browser interactions so you'll be able to to track and monitor events like; Handset info (model, browser type, screen resolution) Bandwidth (total, average per visit, total per file type) Hits (average per visit, number of downloads, page view breakdown) Visits (entry page, average duration, click paths, referring search engine) Geo Location (country of origin, RDNS lookup) Of course not knowing this wont hurt your application but flying blind is foolish, plus being able to provide accurate information increases your ability to monetise your application to the fullest.

While we all knew this was coming, it's certainly happening faster than I expected. Just think what a combination of Facebook and location sensing technologies provided by mobile devices will mean for the type of Facebook apps that can now be created. Currently the presence information provided by Facebook indicates mainly which of your friends is online on Facebook. In the not too distant future you'll be able to find out who is nearby physically, and lots of other information. While this is all fun it also has ramifications for children ... just something to think about. Thanks, Sima Hi Alec,
