Google, my friends, is watching. If you want to know more about a certain field of work, you shouldn't simply look for it. Before anything else, its popularity is the one that matters, and if I tell you that searches of the word "crisis" quadrupled in only a few days, in mid-2008, you get the idea. Now, there are less searches of the word, but most people already live with this crisis. Fortunately for Apple, they still seem to be untouchable, at least when it comes to the iPhone and iPod Touch part...
According to a fresh report coming from Admob, "Worldwide requests from Apple devices grew 28% month over month to 1.2 billion in January. Building on its strong December, iPod Touch growth outpaced iPhone growth in top markets. The iPod Touch now represents 40% of Apple requests, up from 20% in September."
This becomes even more interesting if we look at the fact that the iPhone, with 17 percent market share, and the iPod touch, with 12 percent, come together as the number one device for mobile Internet useage, with no less than 51 percent of all ad requests. I know, some may say the other smartphones have better ad blockers, but the numbers still stand strong.
These being said, I only ask myself when and if it is possible for Apple to come up with an iPhone able to connect to a large screen and a keyboard/mouse. I know, that could cannibalize its own notebooks, but it would really be an interesting (and probably, bulky) choice! ;)
