The iPhone effect: will it work its magic on mobile advertising?

Opinion piece by Eden Zoller, principal analyst at Ovum

It is not just the iPhone platform that is attractive to advertisers

The iPhone and devices that are following in its wake provide the best platform yet for enabling mobile advertising because they are optimised for rich media applications like video and also provide a genuinely good mobile browsing experience. This means the potential for better, more creative mobile advertising campaigns and of course a more engaging user experience. Another big plus for advertising on the iPhone is the kind of people that own them. Comscore recently released data about iPhone application users that suggests they are a particularly attractive demographic for advertisers, with higher than average incomes and higher than average engagement with online media.

Engagement with online retail scored particularly highly, which suggests they could be open to mobile commerce that by its nature has a strong affinity with mobile advertising.  more
