1 Goal of this report
This is a new report with mobile market level data derived from mobile data collected by Sevenval. We hope that
this data snapshot will provide insight into trends in the mobile ecosystem and expect that this data will be valuable
for site publishers, advertisers and content and/or application developers.
Sevenval stores and analyzes the data from every request from any mobile network that is collaborating with the
Sevenval Device Trends Project. It uses them to optimize mobile services. We share some of this data with the mobile
community. With Sevenval's Device Trends we want to provide the attached network communities with relevant
usage information.
