Tablet users are more active in the evening, with 63% of tablet ad requests coming after 2 p.m. Smartphones click more often from midnight through the morning, according to Adfonic. The findings support Parks Associates' research that tablets are becoming alternatives to controllers and interactive program guides, with more than one-third of tablet owners using apps to search for show-related information or check listings while in front of the TV.
Mobile and the rise of local services, a clear trend highlighted at the South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) conference, suggests apps could continue to fragment destinations across the Web. Tablets may prompt more clicks, but apps will generate a mere $8.8 billion in revenue this year, compared with $16.4 billion expected from smartphones, according to ABI Research. Of the combined $25 billion, 65% will come from Apple’s iOS ecosystem, 27% from Google’s Android, and the remaining 8% from the other mobile platforms.
