Mobile Advertising is a Key Component of the Mobile Ecosystem Source: Morgan Stanley As the mobile internet increasingly complements and in some cases replaces existing PC internet functions, mobile advertising is becoming more and more important. “ We can make more money in mobile than desktop eventually because the mobile computer is more targeted. You carry your phone everywhere, it knows all about you, it knows what you’re up to. We can do a very, very targeted ad. Over time, we’ll make more money from mobile advertising.” -Eric Schmidt

Users Love Free: Free Apps Drive Usage Users download free apps 4-7x more frequently than paid apps and even accounting for slightly higher time spent per paid app, users spend significantly more time on free apps as a whole.

Almost All Users Download One or More Free Apps Per Month… 98% of iPhone and Android users download one or more free apps per month, and around 60%-70% of users download over 4 free apps. Source: Admob Note: Slightly higher percentage of non-downloading webOS users may be due to higher webOS app prices in general.

… And 1/5 of iPhone Users & 1/2 of Android Users Never Download Paid Apps Many users only download free apps, which suggests providing a sufficient number of free apps is important for user satisfaction and monetizing the mobile web; if carriers do not provide these apps, someone else e.g. Android Market, device manufacturers will.

Its not a conflict for developers to generate revenue form both in-app ads and paid services Paid Applications In-app Ads

Apple’s iAd Offering is A Sign of Coming Mainstream Mobile Ad Acceptance In early April, Apple announced mobile advertising would be integrated into iPhone OS v. 4.0, with advertising functions integrated in-app i.e. without requiring users to leave applications post-click, and full-screen video display. Developers will receive 60% of total advertising revenues, on par with other mobile ad players. “ This is not a get-rich-quick scheme for Apple. This is us helping our developers make money so they can survive and keep the prices of their apps reasonable.” -Steve Jobs
