In case you missed it, AdMob has recently published their latest mobile metrics report for your viewing pleasure. It’s always a good read if you’re interested in anything mobile, especially manufacturers, OS’s, trends, and more. Below are some key points from this new report:
- For this month’s feature, we revisit the top smartphones in our network and the Operating Systems (OS) they run on. The OS is becoming more important as it enables a common distribution platform in the form of application stores.
- Worldwide the top five smartphones are the iPhone, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N70, BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) 8300, Nokia N80, and Nokia N73. The top five US smartphones are the iPhone, BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Pearl, Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Centro, and HTC Dream (G1).
- The BlackBerry Curve has overtaken the Pearl as the number one RIM device. The BlackBerry Storm is the number one device on Verizon (NYSE: VZ) with 14 percent of requests.
