104 million iPhone users VS 12 million Android users on Facebook
With all the latest user stats for Facebook being displayed it is now possible to find out how many specific users are using Facebook based on their cell phones.
It is incredible albeit not all surprising that the iPhone contributes with over 104 million active monthly users, second are Blackberry users that make up nearly 60 million active users, in third place it is the Android fan boys with 12 million and WebOS/Palm make up 2,500 users.
So what do all these stats mean? Does it mean perhaps that the Android and WebOS Facebook apps are no good? Certainly there have been many comments supporting this or is something to do with the possibility that iPhone users are more likely to want to communicate via Facebook. What do you think?
