Analytics Firm Spots iPhone OS 3.2 Traffic from Possible Apple Tablet Devices

Mobile analystics firm Flurry claims to have discovered evidence of 50 tablet-class devices accessing web sites from Apple’s campus. Per the Flurry blog, the researchers noted that all of the devices are running the as-yet-unreleased iPhone OS 3.2. The move suggests tablets may have a significant update to the interface but not necessarily a major overhaul.

The report also mentions that the devices appear to be using existing iPhone apps but that the bias appears to be towards games, suggesting a heavy entertainment focus. It also has a significant daily media component, such as e-readers and Internet radio. In many cases the downloads were for very recent apps. Media sharing, social networking and travel guides were also common app categories among the 50 devices.

Additional features remain unknown while the questions and speculations should end on Wednesday at Apple’s Yerba Buena press event.
