This doesn't really surprise me, majority of android users tend to use phones that don't have the processor capability to properly stream videos on YouTube or vimeo. Many of the iphone models even the iPhone 4 play videos in better quality than many of the high end android phones.
Is this phone network, wifi or both? I would guess that a lot of android users have very basic data plans vs a lot of iPhone users having unlimited plans. Both my kids have Nexus 7 tablets and while they may not browse the web in traditional sense, via a browser, the 2 tablets get a lot of use.
Are you sure you're not holding them back with inferior equipment?
I got my daughter a MB, original iPhone, first iPad and on and on.
She just graduated from Med. school. 250 on her step 2.
This data settles it. iPhone users are clearly superior mobile video watchers.
Got it in one.
In our family, my son, the youngest, has a feature phone. He watches more online videos than the rest of the family combined. Everyone else has a smartphone.
With regards Ooyala, the reason most have not heard of them is because they are a behind the scenes company. They do the hosting and streaming for many other companies that embed video into their sites. Some big tabloid journalism outlets are clients.
According to their site, these 200 million unique users a month are total visitors, not smart phone visitors. I can't find what percentage of these are smartphone users, but number of smart phone requests accesses to videos on sites hosted doubled in 2012.

Both articles say "phones", so we'll have to go off of that.

If your daughter just graduated med school, it's unlikely she had any tablet when she was the same age as my kids. :-)
