AdMob has released its report for Q4 2009 Southeast Asia.

Some particularly useful data are:

  • The top 3 countries are India, Indonesia and Australia, generating 72% of the traffic
  • Singapore has 77% of the traffic coming from smartphones (the rest from non-smartphones), the highest in SEA. Vietnam has the least at 22%.
  • iPhone is especially prevalent in Australia (90%), Singapore (80%) and Hong Kong (70%).
  • Nokia is prevalent in the rest of the SEA countries where iPhone is not.

txeet was released on 9 Feb 2010.

Shortly after releasing, I checked on App Store ranking and my analytic data, and I see signs that Apple’s App Store is getting too crowded.

 


Sign 1 – Apps cluttered in the categories, especially in Lifestyle

In just a single day, there are 18 lifestyle apps released. These apps are ordered in alphabetical order, therefore txeet is placed quite behind, in fact it is in page 2.

To have a newly released app in page 2 is a big disappointment. One year ago, it could take 3 days before a new app gets pushed to page 2. Those were the days..

lifestyle-release1

Note that page 1 has 5 charm apps (similar apps with combination of color and types…). The developer probably gonna release another 100+ apps as there are so many colors..

lifestyle-release2

Page 2 has quite a lot of Girls apps, the latest trend. On first look, txeet looks bright and very out of place.

 

 

Sign 2 – Analytics show that Android has more users

I used Flurry analytics to analyze the number of new users for the first few days of launch.

Android was released on Oct 18th, and the first day it gathered 620 new users.

iPhone was released on Feb 9th, and the first full day it gathered 147 new users.

It is just another Android phone.

Tomorrow, there is going to be another big phone release by HTC or Samsung or Motorola or Sony Ericsson or LG or ZTE or Acer or Lenovo or Google..

And it is going to be dubbed the iPhone killer, again.

From the view as a mobile fanboy or developer:

The more Android handsets there are, the more fragmented is the ecosystem, the better it is for iPhone.
