iPhone Doubles Up Android On Mobile Ad Click Rates; Both Destroyed By Symbian
When you think about mobile advertising, you might think the iPhone or Android are the hot platforms (thanks to ads like this). But you’d be wrong. Some new December data from the mobile advertising company Smaato
suggests that it’s actually Symbian that kills both the iPhone and Android. (…) the numbers are for the all-important click-through rates on the various platforms. (…) with the average CTR on ads for all mobile platforms set to 100, Symbian led the way by far with a 161 score. This was followed by the iPhone (and iPod touch) with 119. Android? They’re way down the list with a 65. Only Palm and BlackBerry fared worse. (…)

Mobiele advertenties: iPhone-gebruikers niet meest fanatieke klikkers
Bij mobiele advertenties gaat het er vaak om, dat zoveel mogelijk mensen op een linkje klikken. Je zou misschien denken dat iPhone- en Android-gebruikers de meest fanatieke klikkers zijn, maar dat blijkt niet het geval. Uit gegevens van Smaato blijkt dat Symbian-bezitters veel vaker op mobiele advertenties klikken. Dat kan eraan liggen dat ze qua aantallen veruit in de meerderheid zijn. Maar in statistieken voor mobiel internetgebruik scoort Symbian gemiddeld veel lager dan iPhone en Android. Als je de gemiddelde CTR (click through rate) voor alle mobiele platformen op 100 zet, blijkt Symbian met 161 bovengemiddeld te scoren. De iPhone eniPod touch scoren ook bovengemiddeld. Wil je iets verkopen, dan kun je beter niet op Blackberry en Palm richten en eigenlijk ook niet op Android, want daar wordt opmerkelijk weinig geklikt. (…)

Some new December data from the mobile advertising company Smaato suggests that it’s actually Symbian that kills both the iPhone and Android. Now, I know what you’re thinking: that’s because Nokia, despite the buzz surrounding the sexier smartphone devices, remains the biggest mobile player in the world.

Interesting measures, but I think they're biased because:
1. the strong presence of Nokia on emerging markets
2. the deeply different segments using Symbian vs iPhone or Android: the latter include more innovators / tech creative types, early adopters and tech enthusiasts, all of whom tend to be more tech literate and much more averse to clicking on ads than your average population
However, this shows why it was so important for Google to snatch AdMob, why it was so critical for Apple to do a similar move and it further strengthens my opinion that the winning formula is device + strong infrastructure, which means that Google has an advantage in the smartphone wars to come.
