Flurry is a mobile apps analytics company which licenses tracking software to developers of iPhone apps, to record metrics about the way their apps are used. Its analysis suggests the detection of the new tablet’s software signatures through applications in which its analytics code is embedded. Flurry officials say that about 50 new devices running apps have been detected by them that match the characteristics of Apple’s tablet device. Worth noting, these devices never left Apple’s Cupertino Campus, indicating that these are probably being tested at a secure location and they wont like anyone to know about it. One of the Flurry’s official said:

We saw a lot of testing of applications that deal with daily media consumption, like news, books, streaming music and radio. But we are also seeing so many social apps, like multiplayer games you can play with your friends.

Flurry can’t talk specifics about the type of data that has led them to this conclusion, but they told that the types of apps being tested had a heavy emphasis on what people can do during those in-between moments and while in transit. This is a clear indication towards games applications and an emphasis on a mobile device. Flurry also prepared a chart of their observation of different types of apps as shown below:

Flurry noticed some additional information regarding the Apple tablet. Firstly, it is running iPhone apps that have Flurry installed implies that it will most likely run the same apps you can currently download via iTunes. Secondly, Flurry noticed that the Apple device was running on OS 3.2, which has not yet been announced but is compatible with Tablet. This confirms suspicions that the Apple Tablet may be accompanied by an announcement of a new iPhone OS. However, an update clarifies position that inside campus it was OS 4.0 that was running but never left the Campus for security reasons. To know the truth, we have to wait for another 48 hours or so when Steve Jobs will make his much awaited announcement on Jan 27.    [via 9to5Mac]
