The bullet points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Of smartphones in the United States, Android overtook iPhone usage, 46 percent to 39 percent. (In the UK there&#8217;s much greater disparity, with the iPhone leading 70 percent ot 13 percent.)<\/li>\n<li>The HTC Dream (G1) and Magic (myTouch) made up 96 percent of traffic in September 2009. Seven months later, 11 Android phones make up 96 perecent of AdMob&#8217;s traffic.<\/li>\n<li>In March, traffic was divided between Android 1.5 (38 percent) Android 2.0\/2.1 (35 percent) and Android 1.6 (26 percent).<\/li>\n<li>Motorola scored 44 percent of AdMob&#8217;s traffic with the Droid and Cliq. HTC had 43 percent of requests; Samsung had 9 percent.<\/li>\n<li>AdMob requests from Android phones grew at a compounded rate of 32 percent a month, from 72 million requests in March 2009 to 2 billion in March 2010.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Handset by handset, the Motorola Droid continues to rock with 32 percent of AdMob&#8217;s traffic. The Google Nexus One had 2 percent as of March. Not greatly surprising, given <a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/we-get-it-nexus-one-didnt-sell-many-droid-or-iphone\">the reasons we&#8217;ve stated over and over<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While the Droid, G1 and Moto Cliq lead in the U.S., the HTC Hero, Dream (G1) and Magic (myTouch) lead in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Do note that AdMob is (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/consumer-groups-lobby-against-googles-purchase-admob\">still<\/a>) in the process of being purchased by Google. And these numbers are representative of the ads AdMob serves, and not necessarily of actual smartphone usage. So it&#8217;s a good ballpark figure, but not necessarily gospel.
