AdMob, the mobile advertising network currently being acquired by Google, this morning featured the latest results of its monthly analysis of consumer usage and attitudes across the Android, iPhone and webOS application platforms in its January 2010 AdMob Mobile Metrics Report.
Among the most interesting things the survey found is the conclusion that 91 percent of iPhone users would recommend their device, compared to 84 percent of Android users and only 69 percent of webOS users.
That 22% difference has got to hurt for Palm.
Other than that, not much noteworthy in this month’s survey results, which states that consumers who use iPhone and Android devices showed “remarkably similar” activity levels, downloading approximately the same total number of applications and spending approximately the same amount of time using them. What I would deem logical and not remarkable at all.
AdMob further says iPhone users continue to download more paid applications, with 50 percent of users purchasing at least one paid application a month compared to 21 percent of Android users. The survey also included consumers on webOS devices and found that they downloaded fewer paid and free applications, although they remain active.
AdMob says it stores and analyzes handset and operator data from every ad request in a network of more than 15,000 mobile Web sites and iPhone, Android, and webOS applications. The AdMob share is calculated by the percentage of requests received from a particular handset; it is a measure of relative mobile Web and application usage and does not represent handset sales.
Additionally, AdMob claims that the number of ad requests to their network went up 32 percent between December and January, to a total of 15.2 billion ads.
world had become so shopisticating, grow very fast and swept all the slow, so that the technology, it grow very fast exponentially. but sometimes you can cheat the technology. see the amazing picture below :
A forwarded email with photos of a new car that seats one person, gets 258 miles to the gallon, runs between 62 and 74 miles per hour and costs only $600 US. It says this car will be the most economical car on sale next year.
The Truth:
The Volkswagen (VW) L1 is a real car, seats 2 and if released would have a price tag $25,900.
Volkswagen has designed and built the L-1 with an eye toward better gas mileage and lower carbon emissions. It has not yet resulted in a production model to be released to the public, but Former VW chairman Dr Ferdinand Piëch actually drove the L1 to the VW shareholders’ meeting in Hamburg from his office in Wolfsburg which lies about 84 miles South of the German port. Piëch recorded 317.4mpg with an average speed of 43.5mph.
The two passenger car is equipped with a carbon fiber body, 299cc single-cylinder diesel engine, anti lock brakes, driver’s airbag and an electronic stability program. The L1’s price tag of $25,900 was much higher than what the German automotive company targeted for consumers.
The UK Telegraph followed the progress of the L1 over the years reported that the project had been scrapped and later restarted. The L1 has design challenges such as the passenger having to sit bobsled style with their legs around the drivers seat as well as excessive noise and vibration adding to passenger discomfort.
Piëch now heads VW’s supervisory board and is still working on fuel efficient vehicles for the German automaker. The L1 appeared to be a stepping stone and a learning tool to design more efficient vehicles. Piëch said, “We will never build a one-litre car, but it could give us the knowledge to build a two-litre car.”
The VW company also introduced a 3 liter vehicle, the Lupo, which seats four and goes about 78 miles to a gallon of fuel.
Arcade Bowling iPhone game Review | Arcade Bowling Iphone App – This iphone gaming application has its origin from the pioneer of iphone Touch, Sports game Arcade Hoops Basketball. Designed by the legendary designer David Crane, who has been the principle designer of some superior stuff like ‘Pitfall’, ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘Laser Blast’. This game is very much akin to Skeeball and has emerged as a popular Boardwalk bowling game. In this game, the laser ‘ball’ rolls down the alley to reach the ramp and enable you to score into the holes. The distance of the scoring hole is directly proportional to eth number of points you garner.

You can also tilt your iphone to an angle that enables you to manipulate the flight of the ball when it is in mid-air. The accelerometer will help you to tilt your iphone or ipod in either direction. It also helps you to control the ball’s speed.
The features of Arcade Bowling are amazing to say the least. The user can enjoy two varieties of sound tracks, some incredible touch 3-D graphics along with a couple of wonderful game modes.

With the ability to destroy everything you own in record time, house fires can be devastating for sure. Though losing your computer is probably the least of your worries if your entire house burns down, there’s still a small chance your baby might survive.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog reports that when Swedish resident Anders Norman’s whole house was destroyed in a fire, his iMac survived.
In a translated piece from Feber.se, Norman writes:
“Unfortunately, the whole house and all things in there completely destroyed, so even the iMac. What’s funny is that it is still in operation. While damaged from smoke and dust and partially melted, but yet, however in operation.
After I plugged in the burned power cord and wiped off the worst dust from the screen I pressed the melted start button. Imagine my surprise when the startup sound sings from the speakers! The screen turns on and the machine connects to the wireless network.
The mouse works flawlessly and the scroll wheel as well. Firefox starts and I take up the article from the local magazine about the fire … Fantastic!
On Friday I bought a new iMac at the Apple Store here in Umeå, which I now rejoice.”
Check the pictures of his disfigured but very much alive iMac below. More pictures available on Faber.se.
Barcelona – Opera browser finally showed agility when running on the iPhone in the event Mobile World Congress 2010. Opera browser claimed six times more speeding than Safari, the browser that become the sole option that Apple gadgets.
MWC 2010 in the event that took place in Barcelona, Opera has demonstrated how serasinya Opera Mini with the iPhone.
But because Apple does not necessarily accept a rival browsers in their platforms, Opera browsers were not entered into the App Store.
“This will then be submitted (to Apple), but we have not decided when. We want to further refine these products. We will not make it if we do not intend to register it,” said Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder of Opera Software.
According to Von Tetzchner, Opera Mini runs six times faster than Safari on the iPhone when using the 3G network.
After just an hour with an iPad, I came away with a preliminary verdict: Despite some flaws, this is one slick device.
Steve Jobs intrigued me in his slow, showman-like presentation when he said the $US499-and-up iPad is “so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smartphone.” The comparison to an iPhone makes sense, given the minimalist silver-and-black style of the iPad. (more…)
Now that the mania of Apple’s iPad (such a bad name) announcement has begun to calm and people are checking bank accounts instead of RSS feeds for more information, big-name critics are pulling out their swords and taking swings at Apple’s latest creation. The overall reaction has been, in a word, underwhelming. What was hotly anticipated has mostly turned into cold soup. So what happened and what is being said?
There is, without a doubt, much disappointment surrounding the iPad. Bloggers curb-stomped it for its shortcomings:
No multitasking
No Adobe Flash (yet)
No camera or iChat capabilities
No HDMI port
4:3 aspect ratio
Still dependent on AT&T’s 3G service
Dependence on adapters
… and the list goes on.
What I found interesting is that the “big-name” critics took a more compassionate view of the iPad. David Pogue from the New York Times outlined three phases of “the standard Apple new-category roll-out,” starting with feverish speculation and hype, then hands-off negativity, then release-date positivity. Pogue urged caution from the knee-jerk types: “it’s too early to draw any conclusions.” Furthermore, he writes, “as we enter Phase 2, remember how silly you all looked when you all predicted the iPhone’s demise in that period before it went on sale.”
Om Malik had a positive take on the iPad over at Gigaom. He loved the single button, landscape and portrait modes, Web browsing experience, Maps, and the ability to “plow through” e-mails. Still, a hint of wariness came at the end of Malik’s brief first impression when he said, “If I didn’t own a Kindle or an iPod touch, the decision to buy an iPad would be an easy one. But I own both, and even if I only owned one of them, it would be a tough decision.”
Who better to weigh in on the iPad than Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak? In this video, Wozniak commented on the possible future of the iPad but lamented its productivity capabilities — specifically its inability to edit movies or fiddle with music.
Tech guru Walter Mossberg approached his first impressions of the iPad evenly without making overly harsh judgments. The keyboard and the tablet’s size, in his opinion, may be the iPad’s biggest downfall. “Finally, while it’s too early for me to say without lots of testing, the size of the iPad’s virtual keyboard may be a liability. I found it almost too wide for thumb typing, and a colleague who’s a whiz at touch typing and tried it briefly found it awkward to type on. Apple is offering an auxiliary physical keyboard that docks with, and charges, the iPad. But you won’t want to lug that around.”
You might be wondering where TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington fits into this hoopla. As of this writing, Arrington hadn’t given his two cents (or two thousand dollars) to the iPad, though he’s likely writing his tome now. I’m more interested than usual about Arrington’s take given that his own tablet, the CrunchPad, went down in flames.
Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times ran down the laundry list of oft-repeated iPad shortcomings, but hinted at its hopeful possibilities. “… depending on how it’s exploited, eventually it could be much more.”
The round-up of other influential tech blogs brought the same lukewarm response I believe we should expect from what looks to be a wishy-washy on-the-fence device. Gizmodo, quite simply, hated it. In a very long, multi-person take, Engadget was kinda “meh.” ZDNet, like many, urged caution. And the editors here at PC World teetered toward the negative in multiple editorial takes.
So that’s the general take on Apple’s latest product. What’s even more appealing to me is getting the audience’s reaction. So what do you think about the iPad?
