Highlights
* On a worldwide basis, Nokia lost ground to Apple throughout 2009. Nokia's share of requests in the AdMob network declined from 33% in Q4 2008 to 18% in Q4 2009.
However, differences exist between regions as Nokia is still the largest device manufacturer by share of requests in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.
* Increased worldwide availability of the iPhone and iPod touch has lead to Apple's share of requests increasing from 9% in Q4 2008 to 36% in Q4 2009. Apple is the leading
manufacturer in Latin America, Western Europe, North America, and Oceania in the AdMob Network.
* HTC share increased from 1% in Q4 2008 to 6% in Q4 2009 due to success of its Android devices in North America and Western Europe.
* RIM, manufacturer of Blackberry devices, saw its worldwide manufacturer share remain steady in the past year at 3%.

AdMob Mobile Metrics Report
December 2009
About AdMob
AdMob serves Graphical Banner and Text Link ads on mobile web pages for more than 15,000 mobile sites and applications. AdMob has served more than 100
billion ads since launching in January 2006. For each ad served, AdMob leverages handset and operator data, which enable demographic, device, and
operator targeting for advertisers.
Methodology
For every ad request AdMob analyzes information available in the user’s mobile browser. From this, AdMob determines device capabilities and more using
open source tools and a variety of proprietary techniques. The result is a snapshot of the devices viewing the more than 10 billion monthly ad requests and
impressions that flow through AdMob’s network. We believe this data will be valuable in identifying and tracking trends, evaluating market readiness and more.
AdMob also serves mobile ads into iPhone and Android applications. The traffic from these applications is included in the Metrics report.
There is no standard industry definition of a smartphone. AdMob's defintion is based on Wikipedia: "A smartphone is a phone that runs complete operating
system software providing a standardized interface and platform for application developers" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone). AdMob classifies a phone
as a smartphone when it has an identifiable operating system and we continually update our list as new phones enter the market. Despite running the iPhone
OS, the iPod touch is not a phone, and thus not considered a smartphone based on this definition.
Ad Request Classification - For some handsets and operator networks, it is difficult to collect full handset data. AdMob categorizes these requests as
"unclassified" and does not serve targeted ads to these requests.
