On the Millennial Media platform, the top smartphone remains the iPhone, with the iOS system increasing 7% month to month.
Ad impressions are up via WiFi as well with 39% of impressions from WiFi networks. Of WiFi connections 62% come from smartphones and 38% from connected devices.
"Connected devices grew 14% month over month and represented 16% of the impressions of the Smartphone, Feature Phone and Connected Device Impression Share mix," is written in their report. "In November, Amazon launched the Kindle Fire, an Android tablet, which demonstrated strong impressions from the start, contributing to the growth of Connected Devices on our platform."
Calling is still important in the mobile space. Rebtel reports reaching the 15 million user milestone and have released an Android app for consumers to use.

Adtivity focuses on connecting advertisers and consumers according to what the consumer is doing - updating a social status, earning or using virtual goods, taking part in a poll or contest - rather than where they are doing it - via PC or mobile device.
