According to the data released by ComScore this Friday. The data, which was for the month of April, 2011, puts Google\u2019s Android platform at 36.4%, Apple at 26%, RIM (BlackBerry) at 25.7% and Microsoft at 6.7%.<\/p>\n
By the way, that’s a 4.7% decline for BlackBerry since January (which continues a long slide).<\/p>\n
Android’s growth continues to amaze me, especially compared to Apple. It was not much more than a year ago that Android’s market share was below 10%, far behind Apple; now their share beats Apple significantly. I used to think their growth was largely because iPhone was on ATT only and so dedicated other-network users were being forced to Android. But Android continue to grow market share even after Verizon released the iPhone.<\/p>\n
I am purely neutral on which of the two phones is better (I have both phones and like things about each). But most reviewers of smartphones continue to say the iPhone is a better phone than nearly all others, yet Android continues to grow.<\/p>\n
So what is your opinion as to why Android continues to take off compared to Apple’s iPhone? I’d love to start that discussion. Leave a comment below.<\/p>\n
