Android Outsells iPhone In Last 6 Months

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-competing-please dept.

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."

    First of all these numbers directly contradict the numbers presented a few weeks ago that only 20% of Android users would buy another Android phone.

    Seems you missed the correction then. Short version: 20% of *all* smartphone owners (iPhone, BB, WinMo, etc) said their next phone was going to be from Google.
