Mobile is a focus insofar as the master-master sync working well for mobile apps where the user may be online most of the time, but offline a significant amount as well. I believe TouchDB is where they're focusing exclusively on mobile now, and it's less of a focus with the main branch.
As for CouchDB vs. Couchbase, Couchbase is a fork of CouchDB headed by CouchDB's creators Damien Katz and J. Chris Anderson. Couchbase basically throws a lot of the nice things of CouchDB out the window (such as the HTTP API) in order to integrate Membase feature.

- sbisbee 14y agoTo be even more specific while still generalizing, Couchbase is the Membase product with a heavily modified CouchDB swapped in for the storage mechanism (previously SQLite). As for the leaders, it's a smattering of CouchOne/Couch.io and Membase/Northscale people. Or, as a friend put it, CouchOneBase.io. Cheers.
