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 N70, BlackBerry 8300, Nokia N80, and Nokia N73. The top five US smartphones are the iPhone, BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Pearl, 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 with 14 percent of requests.
- Android accounts for 5 percent of the US smartphone market.
