You might be able to obtain a comprehensive list of strings which identify
mobile devices. I believe something as such will exist somewhere on the Web.
You can then search for matches in your log files and come up with some
rough figures.
As an addendum to my last message on the topic, bear in mind that many mobile
devices will not execute scripts such as JavaScript, thus they will still be
displayed the normal pages. The best way to cater for mobile devices is to
design and build the site properly. The objects should be 'liquid' enough to
accommodate small width, if not height as well.
Hope it helps,
Roy
