AdMob shares its monthly smartphone data today, and the numbers provide some deeper insight into trends we’ve seen recently. I was sure that the Android Marketplace’s relatively slow pace would weigh down the growth rate of T-Mobile’s G1, but as they say: the numbers don’t lie. Even more surprising is how well Apple’s iPhone is doing on T-Mobile’s network when the carrier doesn’t even offer it for sale. Bear in mind that the data is limited to smartphone requests made to web sites and apps that serve AdMob advertising, so the information is only a proxy representation of the market. However, the company served up an impressive 7.6 billion ad impressions in March, which is certainly not a small number.
