Mobile game developers can now also choose to sell AndroidOS based mobile games AND earn money with mobile advertising. Admob has set up a totally new unit to make this possible.
This step follows on AdMob's success with the iPhone platform where it is included in over 450 mobile games. AccuWeather, Jirbo, and TapJoy already signed up for advertising on the service.
"Android's open platform enables developers to build rich mobile applications that provide a great experience for users," said Ali Diab, Vice President of Product Management for AdMob. "We are already seeing strong interest in developing applications for Android-based devices, similar to what we saw with the iPhone last summer, and are very excited to take the lead in helping developers monetize their applications on this fast-growing device platform."
