SmartPhone OS: Android up, Apple and Rim stable, Microsoft down
Comscore have just unconfined their newest report for SmartPhone usage and revealed that around 42.7 million persons now own a SmartPhone in the US which is an upsurge of 18 percent since last year.
The report ranked the SmartPhone operating systems by the number of subscribers owning a SmartPhone who were 13 years of age and older.
The figures displayed that RIM is still leading the way with 43 percent of the total SmartPhone souk share which represents a rise of 1.7 on the earlier quarter.
Subsequent in second place is the Apple iPhone with just over a quarter of the share at 25.1 percent so sales of iPhones have nearly stood still unless you call an upsurge of 0.3 percent anything special.
Microsoft is managing to hold on to third place with 15.7 percent but saw quite a steep drop of 4 percent in the preceding three months.
Now here’s one to watch. Android is filing onward and has exceeded Palm to take up 4th place.
Android handsets now account for 7 percent of the souk share for SmartPhones in the US but this is a huge leap onwards of 4.3 percent up from the preceding quarter.
Palm now inhabit fifth place in the rankings with 5.7 percent, after plummeting 2.1 percent since the last results.
