Latest iPhone & Android global growth figures

Admob have released their monthly figures on Android and iPhone/ iPod touch handsets.
Have a look to see where in the world has the biggest market share for each handset. Something to be aware of when developing for each handset.

Its pretty encouraging to any developer or potential client thinking about the smartphones, to hear that Apple are going to hit about 78million handsets before the end of the year in a couple of weeks.

What we always have to remember is that when you release an app, its global and not just local or national.

We are currently about to release 2 more iPhone applications with an additional 2 in mid development. We also have 1 great application for a national client which should see us in development for the first quarter of 2010. The latest figures help us bring these clients more comfortably into the world of mobile.

So have a look at the figures. Kindly provided by Admob.

For Android there are two interesting factors.

1: 885 of Android traffic was from the US, with the UK at 4% trailing 2nd.

2: There has been a 20% growth in Android traffic in general in the last quarter of this year.
