iPhone OS Has 40% of Global Smartphone Ad Requests

Advertising firm AdMob has released its August 2009 Mobile Metrics Report showing that iPhone OS holds 40% of all mobile ad requests on it’s network during the month of August, up 33% from six months ago. This in conjunction with dropping Symbian OS market share, has put iPhone OS in the #1 for global ad request market share.
