Facebook reaches 300 million mobile users milestone

Christmas was awesome for Facebook, with the social network surpassing 300 million mobile users milestone, according to Enders Analysis analyst Benedict Evans.
But that’s not all, the Facebook data also suggest that Android overtook Apple in terms of daily usage, although the historic figures still show an iOS dominance. Perhaps more interesting, BlackBerry is still pretty popular, possibly reflecting their “popularity with teenagers in some countries.”
Based on Evans’ figures, 70% of mobile users and 30% of all users now use apps to access Facebook.
The way I see it, most smartphone users rely on Facebook apps to do their cyber-schmoozing while on the go. Those with iOS and Android device probably lead the way, consider mobile apps for those two platforms rock. As for the feature phone users – I guess they are the ones accessing the social network from the mobile web. What do you think?

Facebook, it seems, has become the official spokesperson of the internet, or the symbol of the World Wide Web (at least for Americans, anyway). In the daily newspaper, the logo is seen printed with almost every ad. On television, they're spotted on TV commercials along with a link to the advertiser's Facebook page. A good number of websites require a Facebook login, and even chat clients like the recently upgraded AIM (which has thoroughly pissed off recent and long-time users) offers Facebook chat connectivity.
