Android And BlackBerry OS Pass iPhone In Total Smartphone Market Share
According to the most recent data published by prominent digital measurement provider, comScore, Google’s Android and Research in Motion’s BlackBerry have become the largest mobile platforms, respectively at the onset of this new year. Firmly standing its ground in third place is Apple’s iPhone, although it should be noted that the data reflects the period immediately before the release of the Verizon iPhone. The data all comes from comScore’s “MobiLens” service, which reports key trends in the US mobile phone industry. The latest study surveyed some 30,000 mobile subscribers, leading to the discovery that Google’s Android OS has compared the lead among smartphone platforms with 31.2% market share. RIM, meanwhile is in second place with a 30.4% share. Apple as of right now comes in at 24.7% of the total domestic market share. The others include Microsoft at about 8.0% and Palm at 3.2% rounding out the top five. In terms of handset distribution, the following information was given: Device manufacturer Samsung ranked as the top OEM with 24.9 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers, up 0.7 percentage points from the three month period ending in October. LG ranked second with 20.8 percent share, followed by Motorola (16.5 percent), RIM (8.6 percent) and Apple (7.0 percent). Android is clearly hanging on to a small advantage over its competitors when it comes to the race for mobile OS supremacy, as 65.8 million people in the United States now own smartphones. This represents an 8% spike from the last three-month period which was surveyed.
