41% Facebook's Revenue Comes From Mobile Advertising

Between April and June, Facebook’s revenue rose to 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, a 53 percent increase on the same period last year. The most important factor behind this increase was mobile advertising.
Ads on smartphones and tablets yielded approximately 656 million U.S. dollars – 76 percent more than in the previous quarter (a comparative figure for the same quarter last year is not available).
In contrast, desktop advertising revenue fell by 5% percent.
During 2 years ago , just before IPO Facebook's one of the biggest worries about the company was its ability to handle the transition from the desktop to mobile. After all, it hadn't generated a dime of mobile revenue.
Last Year the company reported 30% of its ad revenue was mobile. That's $375 million, up from $306 million, or 23% of ad revenue the quarter before.
A year later, it’s a completely different story for Facebook.
The company generated $656 million from mobile advertising, 41% of its total ad revenue, and 36% of its total revenue, in the second quarter of 2013.

In the USA Apple has strengthened its position increasing market share slightly in the past year (8% increase), while Android has remained level. Blackberry continued its decline in the US and now holds less than 2% market share.
e
Countries such as Germany, Spain and France have all increased their Android market share, however some of the biggest increases have happened in countries such as Brazil and China where Android’s market share has increased by 26% and 50% respectively. Russia has seen a sharp drop in Nokia’s market share with the Finnish handset maker losing 19 points over the past 12 months and Android picking up the majority of that loss (up 18 points).
Worldwide, Android is leading the charge making impressive gains in the last year (up 14%). Apple sits in second place with 26% of the market as Nokia slips down into third with 22%.
