[...] From a consumer standpoint, separating core handset functionality from applications can reduce buyers’ remorse as Android matures. That doesn’t mean that every Android application in the future will run on the handset you just bought, but the functional base between various Android devices should be much more similar. And if Google can get a more standardized version of Android across its handsets, developers won’t be as challenged to port code between various SDKs and feature sets. Happy developers ought to make for happy customers and help continue Google’s path towards mobile dominance in the smartphone market. [...]

Why is RIM so low? Could this also be an artifact of AdMob's target? Or does this indicate that Blackberry users aren't surfing the web that much???

Do you think it's skewed because AdMob get 50% of their hits from the US where sites are, as mentioned, modified for iPhone and Android? I'm guessing yes on that one.

Perhaps you might want to publish Statcounters finding on mobile OS usage. It has a rather different set of trends.

When I read the chart, I am struck by howhard it is to remember which is Hero and which is Dream or Magic. And the difference between the Samsung SCH R350 and SCHR450 is...? Seriously, consumers are getting bombarded with models from OEMs and who can keep track of which model variant is on which carrier network?. Wouldn't it be a fairer fight to at least aggregate up all requests OEM to show their contribution to advertising revenue for a particular OS? It takes, what, 7 models to equal half of the requests from iPhone alone?

Don't think it's fair to show iPhone as a single category. Not sure if admob is able to see split between iPhone 3GS,3G and 2g but it's like in showing data for Nokia N series

I agree with you, more and more people are spendign time on their smartphones and I am one of them so it is not unique. It will be interesting to look at these analytices a year from now, I thnik it will just get blown as more and more people access the net from their mobile device.
