Android Is Destroying Everyone, Especially RIM — iPhone Dead In Water
Google’s Android OS has gained an astonishing 7 points of market share in the US smartphone market in the past three months, Comscore says.
RIM’s market share over the same period collapsed, dropping almost 5 points.
Apple’s iPhone share increased slightly, but is dead in the water and has now fallen way behind Android (in smartphones).
(If you include iPod touches in the calculation, Apple’s share has actually fallen).
Android now has a third of the US market (33%). RIM’s share has plummeted to 29%. Apple is holding at 25%.
In the “also ran” category, Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 did nothing to stop its decline, which fell from 9% to 7.7%. And Palm, which is barely worth mentioning anymore, fell another point to 2.8%.
