Report: Android leads US Market Share
ADVERTS 1
I thought that apple had smartphone lead in the US, but based on this article, Android has a significant lead and has grown that lead in the last quarter of 2011...
Here's the link
. Combined android and apple have around 75% of the smartphone marketshare.

I don't recalling seeing anything that said iPhone pulled ahead of Android in Q4 but I do recall reading that Apple pulled ahead of Samsung in the quarter.

inevitable
At one point in time, the Apple ][ had the lead in home computers.
But then, IBM made the industry-standard PC.
Now, everybody makes the PC; Apple makes the Mac.
Again, Apple got a head start in smart phones.
Then came Android, with most all the same ideas, and an open industry standard.
Now, everybody makes Android phones; Apple makes the iPhone.

I don't think Apple got a head start in smart phones, they just marketed them better and released a better product. Palm and even RIM should probably get credit for that.

IMO, ease of use (and the app store) is how Apple brought smart phones into the mainstream.

Proud Staff MemberI think the long term concern, if I were in charge of Android, would be the fact that using the nation's largest wireless provider (Verizon), more than half of their smartphone's sold in the 4th quarter were iPhones. 2 iPhone models vs. 16 or 18 Android models being sold by VZW. IF that trend were to continue, then Android would have something to be concerned about.
I guess time will tell. But we've had these conversations before
And we'll have them again

I hope that is a flluke because of Verizon getting into the iPhone market late so there was pent up demand that should ebb. Originally Posted by rockymtnhigh

Proud Staff MemberI don't think it is a fluke at all. The average consumer loves the iPhone. Originally Posted by steve4810
