Not Percent Mobile.

They have two incredible benefits:

1. A really expansive and accurate database and detection mechanism when it comes to mobile platforms.

2. A really simple UI and reporting layer, even your mom will understand the data.

Analytics from a Really Smart Guy

Avinash Kaushik, author of  Web Analytics 2.0 is one of those rare people who can take a somewhat dry and mathlike subject of web analytics and make it sound easy and even fun. I got to spend a few minutes with Avinash for this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing podcast for some tips about this important, but often overlooked topic. -  John Jantsch, Duct Tape Marketing

Catch the 3 minute segment on mobile analytics starting at 16:37. Thanks for the mention @avinashkaushik.
