I'm not surprised at all. The mobile market is a much more compelling _user scenario_ than desktop, both in terms of the user-need and the user-interface.
On mobile, the user-need can be satisfied much better with additional sensor data that aren't common in computers today. The user-interface, too, is why it's a much more compelling mobile offering than a desktop offering (collating all that information in mobile between multiple apps would be annoying, not so much with a multi-tabbed browser or multiple windows)
Besides, Google has been killing it on iOS recently.
- hadem 13y agoThey really have been doing very well on iOS recently. So much so, most of the stock Apple apps have been replaced by a Google app. It is really making me think about switching to Android.
- cocoflunchy 13y agoUnfortunately the Gmail app for instance is better on iOS than on Android... I'm jealous. Hopefully Mailbox for Android will come soon.
- cargo8 13y agoYeah, I find in general that Google's Android apps are more focused on functionality (regardless of if that makes it a bit in your face), whereas iOS they've focused a lot more on simpler design. I guess it matches the cultures and users of each ecosystem, but it's too bad that the Android apps don't look as pretty as iOS.
