AdMob publishes the Mobile Metrics Report to provide a measure of mobile Web and application usage from our network of more than 18,000 mobile Web sites and applications. 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. Please visit this blog post for more information on how to interpret the Metrics
report: http://metrics.admob.com/2009/10/placing-admob-metrics-in-context/.

AdMob Mobile Metrics Report - Southeast Asia
Q1 2010
About AdMob
AdMob is one of the world's largest mobile advertising networks, serving billions of mobile banner and text ads a month across a wide range of leading mobile
Web sites and applications. AdMob helps advertisers connect with a relevant audience of consumers on mobile devices and gives publishers the ability to
effectively monetize their mobile traffic. Incorporated in April 2006, AdMob provides the tools, data, and business models fueling the explosive growth of
mobile media in more than 160 countries and territories worldwide.
Methodology
For every ad request AdMob analyzes information available in the user’s mobile browser. From this, AdMob determines device capabilities and more using
open source tools and a variety of proprietary techniques. The result is a snapshot of the devices viewing the more than 10 billion monthly ad requests and
impressions that flow through AdMob’s network. We believe this data will be valuable in identifying and tracking trends, evaluating market readiness and
more. AdMob also serves mobile ads into iPhone and Android applications. The traffic from these applications is included in the Metrics report.
There is no standard industry definition of a smartphone. AdMob's definition is based on Wikipedia: "A smartphone is a phone that runs complete operating
system software providing a standardized interface and platform for application developers" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone). AdMob classifies a
phone as a smartphone when it has an identifiable operating system and we continually update our list as new phones enter the market. Despite running the
iPhone OS, the iPod touch is not a phone, and thus not considered a smartphone based on this definition.
Ad Request Classification - For some handsets and operator networks, it is difficult to collect full handset data. AdMob categorizes these requests as
"unclassified" and does not serve targeted ads to these requests.
