How many iPhone Visitors have you had?

I was curious if anyone was using an iPhone to read my blog yet, I'm sure before too long we will all be optimizing our sites for 3.5" displays. To find out I did a little grep on my Apache log file and piped it to wc to count the number of matches:

fgrep 'iPhone;' access.log | wc -l

So far 370 hits including images, to take out requests for images I added:

fgrep 'iPhone;' access.log | fgrep --invert-match images | wc -l

That yields 106 requests, hello iPhone readers...

BTW the user agent for the iPhone looks like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3

Interesting... just went to my Google Analytics to search browsers. Searched for browsers containing "ipod", but nothing comes up. However, I did go to the site on someone's iPod (just to see what it looked like). So, not sure if Analytics is even picking them up. But then again, I just searched for MSIE and it came up with nothing, so I guess it is not storing useragents in that respect :(

I measured our site's PDA traffic during the first week of the iPhone launch. As a whole PDAs accounted for only a very modest percentage of our site's total traffic. The breakdown within that was: 29.1% Blackberry 28.4% Palm 25.2% WindowsCE 17.3% iPhone 17.3 % is pretty nice for a its first week on the market. I'll measure again in a few months is anyone's interested.
