Bookmark topic
Android continues to grab greater chunks of the U.S. smartphone market while its competitors watch their share shrink or stagnate.
Though still No. 3, Google's Android platform saw its market share climb 5 percentage points to win 17 percent of all U.S. smartphone subscribers for the three months ending in July compared with the prior three months, market researcher ComScore reported yesterday.
This contrasts with No. 1 Research In Motion, which saw its share drop 1.8 points to 39.3 percent. No. 2 Apple also witnessed a drop in share, losing 1.3 points to take home 23.8 percent of the market.
Rounding out the top five smartphone platform makers were Microsoft, which saw its share fall by 2.2 points to 11.8 percent, and Palm, whose share remained flat at 4.9 percent.

Uhoh, looks like for the 1st time since the iPhone1, Apple are going to have to come up with something new to the market, but at the same time all this was bound to happen as Android is served up in a variety of devices made by different manufacturers, 3 of these manufacturers namely; Motorola, Samsung and HTC have quite alot of carrier love, especialy Samsung and HTC, whilest iPhone has just AT&T, things will get REALLY interesting once that AT&T exclusivity deal ends im sure.
