This bit made me wonder if this is a story worthy of the 2008 Stating  
the Bleeding Obvious Award:

Ho hum. Here's some *real* growth:

"So far in 2008, the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod touch account for  
some 95.8% of all mobile views on the full site. We're not even  
kidding. That doesn't factor the visitors who hit our current mobile  
version of the site, but it's pretty hard to argue with any number  
like that, so we're rolling out a new beta version of Engadget  
optimized for the iPhone at i.engadget.com..."
