The answer isnt so black and white.

iPhone by its nature has a massively high engagement level and comes with an all you can eat phone contract. Its stats are going to be unusually high for mobile internet access. Nokia is still no. 1 phone seller but not for much longer (2/3 years)

Not sure if I’ve understood this correctly but is it only monitoring mobile optimised sites? I use my iPhone mainly on non-mobile sites – sometimes even preferring these to mobile optimised sites available for the same content (google being a classic example).

Looks like the figures would not pick up visits to those kind of sites and I would think that iPhone users have a much higher percentage of selecting “go to real site” than other mobile users.

In other words, understating penetration of the iPhone in many markets.

what about usage in Japan and south korea ? 2 countries where everybody surfes on mobile sites since 6 years at speed we’ll see in Europe & US in 2012 ? no ones has an iphone there, nor a BB or a rzr…this research is focusing on say 10% of the market, completetly overlooking the remaining 90%

They are not representative of sales numbers, they aren’t even representative of true market share..what’s the relevancy?

I think iPhone suffers from the same thing that the Mac does… It’s designed for the technically inept. I bought a WM 6.0 handset, because if I want to be able to do something that’s not out there yet, I can write it myself, and in a popular language… like C# as opposed to Objective C – which as I understand it, is what iPhone Apps are written in… Who the hell knows objective C?? Lame.

Twist the headline, get people to click….dumb show goes on…
I am sure Admob is applicable to only internet browsing phones and more than 60% of phone owners never browsed a single page on mobile internet, that is a fact..just please people..(particularly in your team..) stop this dead beat..mobile blog…good for nothing info…

I think the accurate way to read the Admob reporting, is that iPhone is #1 for ad usage which is perhaps a good proxy for mobile data usage. Regardless of how you look at it, an impressive result for Apple, and a trend Admob and others are benefitting from (it just doesn’t mean iPhone is shipping greatest # of handsets …. obviously)

It’s success will almost certainly diminish over time… but for now, and for the foreseeable future, it’s topping lists in popularity and customer satisfaction, and it’s steadily making headway into Enterprise markets.

Now if only Rogers and AT&T could remedy the persistent 3G problems, everything would be fine.

like many have said this is definately not true……. i mean this could just be countries with the highest internet users maybe other phone users just dont use internet…it could be anything, i would discard this data…and definately not sure what Japan is doing there as they prefer more advanced phones.

Right said, these stats are from a single ad network and the mobile phone manufacturers can tell the real scores. Iam sure Nokia would be #1

15 years ago, Netscape was #1 web browser in the world in terms of amount of online ads displayed. Where is it now? As web browsing on wireless phones becomes ubiquitous, the same fate awaits the iPhone.

Dear Techcrunch readership
(halfwits, neardowells, breast never squeezers, Scientologists, Roaming Gypsies, Carnival Runaways, Sequoia Capital Principals)

Where is my idiot Son Mark? He used to write stories for Mr. William Conrad, owner of Techcrunch. And I believe he was paid handsomely by Mr. Conrad. And when I mean “handsomely” I of course mean he was paid in processed lunchmeat.

There have been unsubstantiated reports that Mr. Arrington may have mistaken my son for a twinkie, a donut, a Ho Ho, a Dolly Madison Zinger, a Lil Debbie FunCake…well you get my point.

Mark, if you can hear my voice, come home. We love you and miss you, Mark. Not really, but come on home anyway.

Love:

Your Mother (for real)

Countries like India are still to adjust to the iPhone. They find their good ole Nokia handsets more affordable and user friendly. I am pretty sure that if you compare the Nokia N96 market and iPhone , Nokia will have a pretty higher edge. The two service providers ( Airtel and Vodafone) who were the alloted the iPhone retailership are finding it hard to sell it here other than intial urge which they saw. Contrary to their word , they are approaching other retailers to sell the phone . And the cons like no sms forwarding stand as a pretty huge concern and the ” should I buy or not ?” predicament rules them all over when they hear something else which is bad about iPhone . And wel , I dont blame any as we still don’t have 3G .

There is no way the Iphone is the #1 phone in the world.
Unless you acount for phones in everylast country and do a tally there is no way to get a real answer. Most of the population of cell phone users in the world cant afford an iphone so there is no way it can be number 1, it may be # 1 device used online but not overall.
