Obviously the Samsung Galaxy S5 isn't out yet, but that would get lumped into the Samsung Galaxy S spot with the S3 and S4 anyways. I assume they're referring to this phone that's been out for 3 years now?
I'm not sure one can make a connection between Millenial Media ad impressions and worldwide popularity as this article does. If it did, I know a pretty easy way to make the most popular smartphone in the world.
the top 20 add up to 71.54%
the rest have each less than 0.5%
and we are missing 28.46%
how many hundreds or thousands of devices?
28.46% is a big percentage for devices that have a tiny fraction of 1% each
the 3 iOS entries in the top-20 add up to 39.23% yet apple is listed with 39.32%
where do the remaining 0.09% come from?
the top 15 manufacturers at least add up to 94%
but 6% for the rest each of which has less than 0.4% is also dubious.
it looks like its based on someone testing this site with all possible devices and a really small data set.
and possibly doing on-the-fly analysis where the dataset still changes while creating reports.
There's obviously was a margin of error in there, but apparently anything can sell, and Samsung having 7 items (over twice apples three) and still have only half of what apple has.
I just think if the iPod is about to be kicked off the list then this will have a different balance in the end.
You mean like the ad blocker built in to the Atomic browser i'm using on my ipad mini?
Not exactly. Popular ad blocking software on Android works by editing the hosts file to block ads in all programs and browsers. I can't tell you if AdBlock works the same way as I don't know of any Android user that uses it. I never even knew it existed until AI members started saying that it's what Android users use.

That things can't possibly be that popular?

most Millenial Media ads != most popular
