According to the finds from the third quarter, Android operating systems are starting to gain on iOS with a 26 percent bump in cost.  iOS saw a slim CPM bump in September, thanks to the iPhone 5.

In terms of devices, the iPhone is the most sought after with a 3.5 Competitive Factor.

Over the summer, health and fitness was the most visited genre.  After that were news, entertainment and games.  The apps not many used were weather and productivity.

In terms of ad formats and sizes, original desktop advertisement parameters like mid-sized rectangles and banners exhibited the greatest increases in eCPMs, with bumps of 42 percent and 20 percent, respectively.  iPad banner eCPMs soared by 11 percent.
