The Android v. iOS war is continuing on as strong as ever, and today Millennial Media put out a new report to show you just how each mobile OS has been faring. As you can see in the graph above, Android and iOS are in a dead heat when it comes to number of ad impressions in November with 38 percent each, and both OSes managed to double RIM’s impression percentage. In terms of application platforms, things were a little different, with Android beating out iOS by 15 percent. Smartphones in general continue to gain popularity, but feature phones still make up 29 percent of impressions. Interestingly, connected devices like the Sony PSP and Amazon Kindle took 13 percent of impressions.
Jailbreaking Defined
Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users to gain root access to the command line of the iOS operating system, thereby removing usage and access limitations imposed by Apple. Once jailbroken, iPhone users are able to download extensions and themes that are unavailable through the App Store (via installers such as Cydia) and perform other tasks that are not possible on store-bought devices, including installing non-Apple operating systems such as Linux. A jailbroken iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS can still use the App Store and iTunes and other normal functions, such as making telephone calls.
