InMobi says Apple remains the most popular mobile manufacturer in the UK

Independent mobile advertising network InMobi has published the UK edition of its Quarterly Mobile Insights Report for January to March 2012. The number of mobile ads displayed using InMobi’s UK network increased to 9.5 billion over the 90 day period, with smartphone usage increasing by 12% from the previous quarter.

The Q1 2012 InMobi report keeps Apple’s iOS in the top spot with 45.7% of all ad impressions, although this is slightly down from Q4 2011. All top three handsets in Q1 2012 were Apple devices; the iPhone, iPad and iPod. In second place is Android, up to 26.1%.

Lee Blyth, Head of UK Sales at InMobi, said “This is our first Mobile Insights report in the UK this year, and we have seen a strong increase of the mobile web, which holds a 78 per cent share of total advertising impressions, a 20 per cent increase from Q4 2011. The InMobi network is serving 9.5 billion impressions, demonstrating that the reach offered by mobile devices to local, regional and global brands is continuing to grow. As 20 per cent more consumers use their mobile devices to access the mobile web, smartphone impressions now outnumber advanced phone impressions by more than 20 to 1, allowing more opportunities for premium publishers to create more engaging, interactive rich media ads.”

Top tips in Mobile Device Management

David Akka writes:

The issue of choosing the right MDM solution has become more and more pressing, especially for companies implementing a Bring Your Own Device policy. The market place is becoming increasingly crowded with 50 or so vendors who now position themselves as MDMs. Some vendors offer application sharing, some multitenant management, other vendors have a heritage in security or a different strength all together. For organisations considering which option is best it is important to discern between the best known names or the most expensive solutions and select an MDM solution that is fit for purpose.

Smartphones are about to get smarter - in many different ways

Mark Bridge writes:

At Mobile World Congress 2012 I spent quite a bit of time talking about quad-core smartphones. The year before had seen a fair amount of 3D screen technology. Back in 2010 it was the growth of apps. This year I wasn’t hearing so much about mobile device innovation.
