Many organizations include tablets in their overall definition of “mobile” computing. But when you look at where and when tablets are being used today, they’re much more “mobile in the home” than mobile.
The Financial Times announced, that their HTML5 Web App was visited by over 1 million people since it’s launch in June. By that 15% of all subscribers where comming through the mobile web app.
Remember, FT startet it’s own Web App to bypass Apples 30% cut when they make subscribers and revenue through their native iOS app. Looks like they’ve done the right choice.
In the announcement they also included a nice infographic about device usage over the day:

I run this blog since the beginning of 2011 as a way to publish the findings from my bachelor thesis with the same title, wich I finished in July this year. This blog will continue. It’s content about digital publishing, the industry and tricks for the Digital Publishing Suite in InDesign seem to be mainly interesting for people working in the industry, wether it is at publishing houses or design firms.
the daily breakdown of visitors for each day since March show a very clear weekend drop (currently, this blog is visited between 1.000 and 1.500 times a week).
The average visit time is two minutes and twenty-two seconds (yes, exactly ,-).
This blog is read nearly all over the world. Of course mostly in the countries using advanced technology.
Thank you very much! This is fun for me. keep reading this blog, spread the word and ask questions if you like.

Melissa Wiley (National Geographic), Henry Donahue (Condé Nast) and James Kober (Newsday) talked about their current efforts and the future of digital publishing in a panel hosted by Adobe at the end of June.
Watch this hour long panel talk to learn more about the things National Geographic and Condé Nast learned after adding digital publishing to their magazine portfolios and hear what is driving in the world of publishers in making their publications profitable.
This is more a talk about business and workflow changement than new storytelling techniques, but not less interesting.
