According to the mobile ad network&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/metrics.admob.com\/2010\/04\/march-2010-mobile-metrics-report\/\" >latest monthly metrics<\/a> report, Android phones accounted for 46% of all mobile traffic in the Unites States last month, while iPhone OS accounted for 39% of the traffic. AdMob uses mobile ad impressions to measure traffic &#8211; it&#8217;s &#8220;a proxy for overall traffic,&#8221; as <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/04\/27\/admob-android-passes-iphone-web-traffic-in-u-s\/\" >TechCrunch<\/a> put it.<\/p>\n<p>Worldwide, iPhone OS still reigns supreme with a 46% grab of mobile Web traffic as measured by platform. Android was up to 25% share in March&#8217;s global reports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/04\/27\/admob-report-11-devices-account-for-96-percent-of-android-traffic-motorola-droid-takes-the-lead\/\" >Another interesting Android tidbit<\/a>&nbsp;in the March report is that of the 34 Android devices currently on the market, 11 of them accounted for 96% of the platform&#8217;s Web traffic. Motorola&#8217;s Droid (Verizon) was responsible for 32% of the Android traffic all on its own. Google&#8217;s Nexus One &#8220;Superphone&#8221;? Two percent. No wonder Verizon dropped it like a hot potato now that the HTC Incredible is on its way.<\/p>\n<p>Note that AdMob is the same AdMob that was recently acquired by Google for $750 Million. That deal has yet to be approved by the Feds.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/metrics.admob.com\/\" >AdMob<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/no-android-did-not-just-pass-iphone-web-traffic-in-the-us-2010-4\" >Business Insider<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/04\/27\/admob-android-passes-iphone-web-traffic-in-u-s\/\" >TechCrunch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/sbn-BiTTLkO_O1qOutjU1MO_iLI\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/sbn-BiTTLkO_O1qOutjU1MO_iLI\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/sbn-BiTTLkO_O1qOutjU1MO_iLI\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/sbn-BiTTLkO_O1qOutjU1MO_iLI\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/phonedog_cellphoneblog\/~4\/M5H5Oa8e8Ts\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So hot on the heels of my &#8220;Top 5 Ways for Android to Close the Gap&#8221; series, Android is closing the gap.
