According to Nielsen, Anrdoid phones had a 32 percent share of the U.S. smartphone sales in August. Blackberry and iPhone were very close to each other, representing 26 percent and 25 percent of sales, respectively.
“Android is now the most popular operating system among people who bought a smartphone in the past six months, while Blackberry RIM and Apple iOS are in a statistical dead heat for second place among recent acquirers,” notes Nielsen. “Among all smartphone owners, Blackberry still holds the dominant share with 31 percent of the market, though its lead over Apple is declining. Twenty-eight percent of smartphone owners have Apple iPhones, compared to 19 percent who have Android devices.”
