phones 520x245 European ad impressions to smartphones almost doubled in just 90 days, InMobi says

InMobi,the worlds largest independent mobile advertising network,has released new data revealing that its mobile display ad impressions have grown 36% in the most recent quarter of 2011, with the most notable jump being a 97% increase ads served to smartphones in Europe.

InMobi says that the sharp increase means that it served 21.9 billion impressions in Q3 in Europe. That compares to an increase of 39% in North America, where InMobi served 32.5 billion impressions across the quarter.

Although the report only features data for InMobis own network, the company reaches340 million consumers and serves over 60.2 billion ad impressions per month globally, making it a useful yardstick for the market as a whole.

Europes steep growth in smartphone ad impressions led it to a 53% increase in total mobile ad impressions. Smartphones leapt from accounting for 51% of impressions to 71%. Thats the same figure as in North America, although theres only been a two percentage point increase there it was 69% last quarter. Globally, smartphones are still a small proportion of the mobile ad market, accounting for 39%.

Globally, Apples iPhone 4 is the top handset being served with InMobis ads, with a 4% share. The same handset accounts for 7.1% in Europe and 6.2% in North America. That said, despite its troubles this year, Nokia remains the dominant manufacturer, with a 31% share globally. Its a different story in North America, where Apple comes out on top with a 20% share, and Europe where Samsung is dominant, holding 18%.

Meanwhile, ads served to Android grew significantly in Q3 2011, with a six percentage point increase.

With the worldwide smartphone market growing, theres little surprise that the mobile adv! ertising market is developing fast too. Advertisers ignoring mobile clearly do so at their peril.

12 startup founders discuss working on Christmas Day

Image
Well, it would seem a trifle rude to not begin proceedings with a warm Merry Christmas. But I must askwhat the hell are you doing reading this when you should be playing your new Nintendo 3DS, or guzzling that tenth mince pie of the day? But then, you will probably ask what the hell am I doing here writing this piece on the holiest of holy-days. My excuse? I love what I do, so its not like Im really working per seplus, I actually prepped much of it yesterday. And your excuse is likely along the lines of I love all things tech, why would I switch off just because my calendar says December 25? Fair point. Confucius once said: Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Nice sentiments for sure, but theres still the issue of a healthy work/life balance to contend with even for startup founders. So I asked a handful of founders and CEOs whether they would be working on Christmas Day this year, or whether theyd treat themselves to a day off. I mean, it is a...

Flipboard needs to branch its content out from US/UK, heres why

Image
Earlier this month, an eagerly anticipated iPhone app was finally launched as Flipboard took its highly acclaimed iPad app to the phone. The app has been out for a few weeks and, with the deafening chorus of cheers fading, Ive found myself shunning its beautiful and innovative design for the simple fact that its content isnt relevant enough for me. Compared to Zite , which may not be as aesthetically pleasing, Flipboard comes up wanting on content. Zite is, among others , an app which aggregates content from my social web Twitter, Google Reader and others giving it to me in a magazine style layout. Though it lacks the page flipping ingenuity of Flipboard, the reading is more varied, which is ultimately what Im looking for from a social magazine. There is credit to be given to Flipboard however, as it is addressing the issue by building an editorial team, as its founder told Robert Scoble recently . The company has also started curating content publicly too, with @flipboardtech cura...

Digitimes: Apples iPhone 5 to include smaller screen and metal chassis

Contray to previous reports that suggested Apples next-generation iPhone would include a 4.2-inch touch screen panel, Asian technology publication Digitimes reports that the device will feature a smaller 4-inch panel, adapting the rear of the device to ship with a metal chassis instead of reinforced glass. Digitimes points out that the many of the rumoured specifications expected to be featured in the iPhone 5 are the markets expectations, with sources indicating that the device will possibly adopt a significantly smaller screen than first imagined: The sources pointed out that the upcoming iPhone will not have many differences compared to iPhone 4 in terms of components and the panel will still be less than 4-inch. The iPhone 5 will adopt a 3.5- to 3.7-inch panel with a design to allow the bezel of the panel to become thinner and make the screen look larger. The inclusion of a metal back will divide opinion, given suggestions that Apple had intentionally utilised glass designs to boo...
