How Is Your Mobile Experience on SRN?

SRN on Sony Xperia Tablet S

When Steve Jobs stepped on stage three years ago to announce the iPad, the arrival of the first widely consumed tablet, he did so with an eye towards the future. As he famously said then, we’ve now entered the “post-PC world.” While many from the PC industry like HP, Dell, and even Microsoft wrote him off, not only has his vision turned out to be true, but it also might be happening at a much faster rate than Steve might have even anticipated. In fact, as the chart after the jump shows, tablets are here to stay while PC sales continue their nosedive. That’s not to say a tablet is right for everyone and for every scenario, but they are here to stay.

At SRN, we’ve noticed the same trend. During the past year, as our site continues to grow, thanks to you, our wonderful readers, so has the way you access our content. That is to say, if you’ve been visiting our site on a mobile device. Compared to exactly one year ago, the number of our readers who access our website on a mobile device, be it an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, has doubled. So, while previously only 1/10 of our readers consumed our media via a mobile device, that number is now up to 1/5. With the trend not showing any signs of slowing down, we want to know what your mobile experience has been with SRN.

So no matter your device, you can expect to get all the same functionality and content, with menus designed for touch. Want to see how our site may function on a mobile device?
