iPod Touch Giving Mobile Web a Boost

Apple’s iPod Touch devices might have been a hot gift over the holidays, according the data released by AdMob, a mobile advertising start-up.

So much so, it is now the second most popular device in the AdMob network, with 4.7 percent share. iPhone is still the most popular device.

    There was definitely a major increase in interest for iPhone and iPod Touch apps right after Christmas. We’re a pretty new site; so, it was easy to see the big spike in traffic. We jumped up 50% from before Christmas to a few days after.

    I can’t determine if this was due to the Touch or the iPhone. However, it’s clear there was a large number of either of them given as gifts.
