More about Mobile Search

July 31, 2008

On July 30, 2008, Ryan Spoon wrote “Sergey Brin: iPhone Users Conduct 30x More Mobile Searches (and Other Fascinating Stats) on the Ryan Spoon Web log here. The title of the article is a bit off center. The increase in mobile searches is information that I have known for a couple of months. Mr. Spoon does nail two pieces of information that I found most suggestive:

  1. The soon-to-be really interesting Pandora service “had 350,000 downloads in the iPhone’s first week”
  2. Mr. Spoon makes the point that “every additional iPhone search is opportunity for Google… not for Apple”.

I thought partners were in win-win relationships. Maybe not if Mr. Spoon is correct.
