Despite Some Reports, Android Still Demolishing the Competition
Despite Some Reports, Android Still Demolishing the Competition
Despite some reports floating around the internet that Android market share is sliding, and the iOS 5 is going to be the nail in the coffin for Android, a report put out by Millennial Media shows that Android is crushing all competition in the smartphone field.
Although the iPhone is the #1 device (which is skewed because there are 4 different iPhones in that one percentage), Android holds 16 of the top 20 spots for smartphones, and the original Droid has climbed its way up to #3. Total market share for Android devices is 54%, with the next closest being iOS at a paltry 26%. In addition, Google announced that their daily activations have reached 550,000. That is over half a million new Android devices being activated every single day.
