So far we’ve seen a real jump in traffic across the board this year for MocoSpace, which is great.  However, as we first mentioned in October, what is really interesting is that Android was and continues to grow faster than iPhone in both absolute and relative terms in the MocoSpace community.  Although we like iPhone a lot it’s never fun to be at the mercy of a monopoly, so the good news here is that won’t be the case.

This week brought the announcement that Microsoft is actually rolling out a pretty cool OS for mobile.  Will they surpass iPhone or Android anytime soon? Safe to say no.  Are they a longer term competitor in the space? Absolutely.  What does this all mean? For consumers there will be plenty of choices.  For developers there will be plenty of fragmentation….sorry I meant opportunity.  Will Apple’s innovation and early lead eventually be a eroded and surpassed, ie a repeat of the PC? Too soon to say.

Today our fastest growth is happening on Android and iPhone.  Tomorrow, maybe it’s Microsoft.  Fortunately, I don’t have to pick a winner, or rather I think the winner is mobile.  And that’s the bet MocoSpace will continue to make by delivering a fun, engaging friend finding experience across all handsets iPhone, Android, Microsoft, Blackberry, etc.
