Motorola takes 30 per cent Android share – AdMob
Embattled Motorola appears to be making an impression with its Android handsets, according to the latest figures issued by AdMob.
The ad network, bought by Google this month, analyses the handset-identifying ad requests it receives from more than 15,000 mobile Web sites and iPhone and Android applications.
Two weeks after its launch on November 6, the Motorola Droid represented 24 per cent of all Android requests worldwide, while its Cliq accounted for another 6 per cent.
HTC of Taiwan, the first manufacturer to release Android smart phones, still maintains a healthy lead, with its Dream, Magic and Hero models responsible for 65 per cent of requests. Other handset makers have only 5 per cent share.

Google Phone By HTC – Early 2010?
Phandroid has joined the Engadget/TechCrunch discussion on the Google Phone. While previously they said there is no chance that Google will have their own branded phone, now they “hoping I have to admit I was wrong all along.”
Here is what one of their sources say about the Google Phone in response toTechCrunch:
- January is optimistic, “first part of the year” would be more accurate
- HTC is definitely making a Google Phone at Google’s request
- Google is assisting and providing input on hardware decisions, but after acknowledging less than perfect hardware decisions on the G1 (which they did dictate) it’s more of a collaborative conversation… with Google merely insisting on certain ideals.
- He can’t confirm/deny LG and Samsung Google Phones but thinks it unlikely at this point
- Could eventually alter the economics of the industry
Guess will have to wait and see…
