Mobile advertising platform AdMob has discovered that twive as many paid apps were downloaded per user on the apple App Store compared to the Android Market.

The July 2009 Mobile Metrics report (which surveyed 1,000 users of iPhone, iPod touch and Android devices) indicated:

• Each month, Android and iPhone users download approximately 10 new apps, while iPod touch owners download an average of 18 per month

• Over half of Android and iPhone users spend more than 30 minutes per day using apps • More than 90 percent of Android and iPhone OS users browse and search for apps directly on their mobile device

• Users who regularly download paid apps spend approximately $9 on an average of five paid downloads per month

• iPhone represented 60 percent of US smartphone usage in AdMob’s network in July 2009, followed by RIM and Android devices at 13 and 12 percent, respectively

Version 2.0 of WM Android Application Available Now

Several weeks ago we mentioned that Website Magazine had released both an iPhone app and an application for the Android (G1). The uptake on both of these applications has surpassed our wildest expectations, appealing to new subscribers and broadening the magazine's exposure to some true connected individuals - just what we had hoped for.

Our staff received a lot of wonderful, meaningful feeedback on these new mobile applications, and now - the Website Magazine Reader application for the G1 is better than ever.

In addition to being able to read and comment on items from the recent issue and the daily Weblog content published at WebsiteMagazine.com (as well as manage your account), version 2 of the WM reader application lets subscribers scroll through (and even download) all of the past issues just like in the popular digital format. It's an amazing user experience (if I do say so). Once again, if you're a G1 user, let us know what you think by downloading the Website Magazine Reader App now.

If you're an iPhone user, don't worry - version 2 for that device is coming soon - very, very soon.
