A survey of mobile app users compiled by Pontiflex and Harris Interactive has come to the unsurprising conclusion that nearly half of all ad clicks generated by mobile app users are… accidents.
47% of all the 4000 users surveyed admitted their ad clicks were mistakes, with that rising to 61% of users in the key 18-34 demographic.
Which is pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain, and only serves to highlight the fact that the pay-per-click advert ecosystem is indeed based on (a) accidental presses and (b) people who don’t know any better. Link via PaidContent.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ January 27, 2011Yes on Angry Birds they actually moved the ads to the bit where you often press to explode/accelerate/spin a bird, so I probably pressed the adverts something like fifty times while playing it. None of these presses were intended.
I soon realised why they didn’t want to move away from the ad-supported model.
