Android Outsells iPhone In Last 6 Months

tomhudson writes "Despite all the hype about Apple's latest iPhone, Android has sold more in the last 6 months (27% of all smartphone sales) than Apple (23%). The gains for Android are coming at the expense of RIM (still #1 at 33%, down from 45% a year ago), Windows Mobile (11%, down from 20%) and the iPhone (down from 34% at it's peak 6 months ago). If the current trend continues, Android is expected to be #1 within the year."

There will probably be an Android for every type of user, rather than just one version that everyone will be forced to adapt to.

Because people are forced to buy and use iPhones against their will? *rolls eyes*

Then why not properly report the headline as "Android outsells iOS4"?

Despite all the hype about Apple's latest iPhone, Android has sold more in the last 6 months (27% of all smartphone sales) than Apple (23%).

The numbers don't even take the new iPhone into account. The summary is definitely slanted towards 'fanboi' news.

Yes, but does anyone care about the opinions of someone who can't manage to write basic English and confesses to activities such as "Facetwitting"?

Don't go suggesting MeeGo to the Android fanboys here. Apparently having a huge dependency on Google for future development is a good thing, and existing technologies should be avoided.
