Thread: Apple losses are Google gains

I will stack my droid running bugless beast against the iphone any time anywhere. I am overclocked comfortably and have all the bells and whistles. I can do this with my droid and also choose what content I want or not. I had an iphone but will take my droid in its current state over the iphone any day.

everybody and their brother in law has a blackberry (RIM) now days. I just don't care for any of the blackberry models. I have a tour 9630. Blackberry sucks for web browsing. the screens are just too small except for the storm.

An interesting report about the cell phone market from the ad serving internet traffic market angle.

http://metrics.admob.com/2010/03/feb...etrics-report/

Stats I found most interesting (Feb. 2010):
- the US has half of this market;
- Worldwide: iPhone has 50% market share, Android - 24%
- in the US: iPhone has 44% market share, Android - 42% (from 55/27 just 3 months ago).

Over the last year:
- the market tripled;
- iPhone market share went from 33% to 50%;
- Android market share went from 2% to 24%;
- Symbian market share fell from 43% to 18%.

Some more graphs from the same report i think? Looks like the android OS will pass the iphone in the US from an online traffic perspective.

Android sees healthy growth at expense of Apple, RIM, MS

According to comScore, all the major smartphone OS makers experienced a dip in market share among smartphone subscribers during the three-month period except for Android. Microsoft saw the largest drop of 1.9 percent, while Apple was down 1 percent and Palm saw a 0.6 drop. RIM saw the smallest fluctuation, with only a 0.4 percent dip.

Still, RIM kept its top spot with 41.7 percent of the overall market as of May 2010, followed by Apple at 24.4 percent and Microsoft at 13.2 percent. Google/Android stood at a solid 13 percent in May thanks to its four percentage point increase...

Your statement was true in March, and it is even more true now with BB.4 running Android 2.2. I am onlyu overclocked to 800mhz, and the Droid flies. Smooth as can be.

Another six months of no iphone on Verizon, and the introduction of the Droid 2, Droid X, and whatever is in store in November, and I suspect Google's numbers will increase by even more.

I believe Android's world market share should be even more impressive.
Considering the BRIC countries (Brasil+Russia+India+China) account for about 40% of world cell sales and are NOT iPhone markets in any shape or form...
