I thought everyone might enjoy a few quick stats on the increase in Facebook Mobile Usage and social mobile usage in general, with this new infographic from Flowtown. There are now over 150 million mobile Facebook users in 2010 (compared to 65 million in 2009) and interestingly, each of those 150 million people create twice the activity and interaction of desktop users.
So for everyone out there creating Facebook Apps, check that your branded and campaign apps work across the majority of smartphones…
I use a Palm Treo phone from Sprint and am dissatisfied with its performance. The i-Phone, Android, and Blackberry all clearly out perform other phones. I have hardly any apps I can use and I feel like I’m falling behind in this boom of social networking. Should I invest in a new phone that gives me more options? Clearly your charts show the i-Phone as the most popular.

I think you all are misreading the chart; it doesn’t seek to show the relative popularity of each mobile operating system, but rather which apps are most popular within that OS’s user base.
The Nokias, Samsungs and LGs of the world are either running Android OS or “Other” OS (featured there on the far right of the chart).
The graphics show that iOS and Android users are the most app-centric, while BBOS and Symbian and WebOS rely less on apps and just use the phone as a phone. That’s changing, certainly – in 10 years, I expect you will be hard-pressed to find a mobile handset that’s JUST a phone.
