Social media is a great agency to get a beadwork on the hottest trends in almost any industry you can think of, and the Android OS has just been crowned the hottest mobile OS in the smartphone space. A new study from Norse consulting business firm Integrasco shows that Android has pulled ahead of Windows Mobile River as the most buzzworthy style in social media circles like Twitter, YouTube and technical school blogs. In fact, mixer media mentions of Android has been steadily skyrocketing since the commencement of cobbler’s last year, and has been eclipsing the bombination from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s media-darling iPhone almost since the get-go.
Windows Mobile hype has been on a steady downslope, according to Integrasco’s prosody, but distillery accounts for a healthy 33% of social media mindshare in the last after part of 2009. Android, on the other helping hand, took home 401-k plan of mixer media mentions in Q4 2009. Compare that to the iPhone’s measly 7% share, BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM)’s 2% slicing and the 1% of mentions going to webOS, and it’s open that Android is acquiring a lot more attention from online gossipers.
So, what’s going on here? Is Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s operating system really attracting that much more attention than the iPhone? For that matter, is Windows Mobile really out-buzzing the iPhone? The iPhone is a ballyhoo machine befitting Apple’s half-eaten logo – how is it not one of the hottest trending topics in mixer media? Well, this is pure speculation, but consider this – Android users skew heavily male person. And, the Android platform is generally seen as the “eccentric person” chopines of option. Could it be that it’s these more tech-apprehension users that are driving the online bombination around the little green robot?
What do you think? Is Android the hot new chopines to vigil for? Will Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) shuffling a comeback with Windows Phone 7 Series (catch our hands-on demonstration here).
