AdMob just released a report that analyzes various metrics to compare users of the following devices: iPhone, iPod Touch, Android and Palm’s WebOS (notably missing–RIM). The metrics are age, gender, app downloads, app purchases, and likelihood of recommending the device to a friend or colleague. CNN has a pretty good take on the report, along with charts.

While certainly overshadowed by the Olympics, there is another international event taking place this week. It is the Mobile World Congress 2010 which takes place February 15-18. This is the premiere event for mobile device manufacturers. 47,000 attendees are expected and over 1,300 companies will exhibit products.

Physics: The Pixi keyboard is always accessibe. The Pixi follows the Blackberry bar model and does not slide open to unveil a hidden keyboard like the Pre. This may seem like a drawback but it is probably a big plus. Some Pre users complained that the slider made the phone highly susceptible to damage.
