According to a new report from Enders Analysis, the number of active monthly users on ‘s mobile platforms has exceeded 300 million.

Enders Analysis analyst Benedict Evans pointed to another recent report on the huge number of iPhone and Android activations during the Christmas season as a reason why the numbers have spiked so quickly.

“Quite unsurprisingly, these are dominated by the two platforms that have traction, iOS and Android,” said Evans. However, that doesn’t mean they are the only ones worth talking about.

“Meanwhile around 70% of RIM’s 70 million active users have installed the app. That’s a high penetration rate … on what is supposed to be a corporate product,” he noted.

Also worth mentioning is that wants to remove the ‘app mindset’ and make its mobile experience one that is universally common, at least on Android and iPhone devices. Instead of dedicated apps, the social networking site will soon live on HTML5 and direct both platforms to the same mobile site.

Evans called Windows Phone’s involvement in the mobile revolution “quite insignificant” but said that could change if the Nokia partnership pays off.
