I could not find the exact breakdown of phones vs. tablets, but on that same page it says 28% of all e-mails were opened on an i-phone. In other words - unless looking at e-mails has a very different device distribution than web browsing, a very large percentage of web views are done on cell phones.<br><br></span> Scott Lieberman<br><br><br>GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG<br><br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: black;">-----Original Message-----
