The latest Mobile Metrics report from AdMob included the following findings:
- The United States still has a strong lead in iPhone usage. 50% of the unique iPhone and iPod touch devices that requested at least one ad from AdMob in November 2009 were located in the US.
- In total, there were 23 countries with more than 100,000 unique iPhone and iPod touch devices in the Admob Network.
- Over the past year, the number of users has increased faster internationally than in the US. In November 2009, 50% of unique users were located outside of the US, an increase from 39% in January 2009.
- Japan, France, and Australia were the fastest growing of the Top 10 countries for Apple devices in 2009. The United States and Canada grew at a slower rate, likely due to the larger installed base of users. The number of unique users on Apple devices in AdMob’s network increased 150% in 2009.
