Android Number One U.S. Smartphone Platform
eWeek: Google's mobile device operating system now used in nearly 30 percent of smartphones in this country.
"Google's Android operating system took 29 percent of U.S. smartphone market share in January, breaking a statistical tie with Apple's iOS and Research In Motion's BlackBerry platforms in growing 2 percentage points from December."
"However, Nielsen data also noted that while Android handsets might have a slight edge over the iPhone and BlackBerry-powered gadgets, RIM and Apple lord over other device makers, "since they are the only ones creating and selling smartphones with their respective operating systems.""
"HTC is third, accounting for 12 percent of Android smartphones purchased, and 7 percent running Microsoft Windows Mobile or Windows Phone 7."
