Android roars past iPhone in US
The survey found that Android’s share of the smartphone market in the six months ending in August, jumped from 14 percent to 32 percent, while the iPhone dropped from 32 percent to 25 percent. Sales of RIM’s Blackberry dropped from 34 percent to 26 percent.
Android, which trailed the iPhone and Blackberry by several years in coming to the market, still has plenty of work to catch up. Its portion of overall market share jumped from eight percent to 19 percent in August. RIM retained first place, down from 36 percent to 31 percent, while the iPhone dropped one point to 28 percent.
The data reflected the increasing popularity of Android, which powers dozens of different smartphones made by Motorola, HTC, Samsung and LG, which are sold by all the major US carriers.
PC World analyst Tony Bradley said a continuation of the current trend would relegate the iPhone to niche status – similar to that of Apple’s Mac computers. He cited Apple’s tight control over hardware and software and the iPhone’s exclusivity agreement with AT&T as the main reasons for its falling market share.

Android will dominate the smartphone market this year. Making the switch from an iPhone to a Droid was the best decision I’ve ever made. I had an iPhone for two years. While I loved the iPhone when I had it, I saw what a smartphone was truly capable of when I got a DroidX. I talk about this on my blog… http://www.kempercook.blogspot.com If you are interested in Android, Google or just technology in general you need to check out this blog. Happy reading…

I must admit I’m not surprised Android has passed the iPhone. With all of the low cost options out there it makes the iPhone look like an over priced phone. Look at Virgin Mobile, they picked up two low end Android phones and currently sell unlimited data and texts starting at $25 a month(yes we are talking no caps). I talk a little about the Virgin Mobile phones and service on my blog… http://anything-android.blogspot.com/2011/03/low-cost-android-phone-service-virgin.html
