Peter Binder The latest mobile market research data has proven a sad fact. Apple is slightly losing its share of this market, on the contrary, it is the case of Google, whose share has very clearly increased.
The research is carried out by the marketing company comScore, which publishes the results of the mobile market every quarter. Based on the data, 53,4 million people in the United States have a smartphone, a number that has increased by a full 11 percent since last quarter.
Of the five best-selling platforms, only Google's Android increased its market share, from 12% to 17%. Logically, this increase had to show up somehow, and that's why Apple, RIM, and Microsoft regressed. Only Palm was unchanged, still holding 4,9% as last quarter. You can view the overall results, including a comparison with the previous quarter, in the following table.
The popularity of Google's Android operating system continues to grow. In the United States, they are currently in third place, but I think next quarter will be different. Hopefully it won't be at the expense of Apple next time.
The growth of Android is also confirmed by the estimate of Gartner's vice president, who claims: "By 2014, Apple will sell 130 million devices with iOS, Google will sell 259 million Android devices." However, we have to wait for some Friday for specific numbers and how it will actually be.

On the contrary, I hope that the share will continue to decrease.
The share is not important at all, because Apple does not work on the principle of "selling as much as possible", but to have the largest possible primary and secondary profit from the unit sold ..
Ae..tss :-) naky 1 percent (I know it's good). Today, I can no longer imagine life without an iPhone, and my theory is - The mobile phone market is divided - into those who have an iPhone and those who have not yet figured out that there is no better phone.
Good one!
Many and it won't be Tim that android is in every shoulder from 3 liters with a minimal margin/profit, while Apple sells only one model and that for one Czech month and salary...the comparison is like dementia...There is probably nothing else for a touch phone either, ios and Druid lead and palm, well, probably a corpse for rock fans... I'm really curious about winphone, but given the requirements, I see it black...
Sorry, I forgot about the blueberry...USA-berry=statue of liberty
this: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/09/21/pie-chart-apples-outrageous-share-of-the-mobile-industrys-profits/ is IMHO more interesting: in the first half of the year, Apple sold 17 million phones, Nokia+Samsung+LG about 400 million. But Apple collected a 39% profit, i.e. more than the big three together (32%). Please people, don't buy those iPhones anymore, let me make them cheaper. :-)
I already have an iPhone 4 so I won't be buying any more from now on..
If I could buy a Cube assembly without software for CZK 2000 in 165.000, why couldn't I buy an iP4 for around twenty? Apple has similar concerns with some CZ clients at prd€l€.
Although this is a website mainly focused on Apple and the iPhone, a little less bias might not hurt... I mainly refer to the sentences "The latest mobile market research data has proven a sad fact" and "I hope it won't be at the expense of Apple next time." The world doesn't turn only around Apple and iPhone. I have an iPhone 4 myself and I wouldn't change, but I think it looks much more "professional" when the article is presented without prejudice, it is mainly intended to inform.
Otherwise, I have no objections to the website, 14205.w5.wedos.net is my favorite Apple website, this was just a reminder :-)
So it's strange that Apple still can't produce the iPhone 4 and deliver it to the market with this drop is just a wish that
