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."

    I always thought of the new iPhone as a #2.

    Well, while osx is part of the bsd family (though the white sheep of the family), I still prefer android simply because I disagree with apple's ethics. Everyone is good and bad, it just depends on what benefits you. I don't like mindlessness and intolerance so I stay away from apple. More specifically, growing up with BSD and it's freedom makes me feel like i'm in jail when dealing with apple products. Don't like their music devices (never have or will own one), phones or computers. Though I originally "learned" on an apple and worked with them in the past.

    I love seeing how Apple fanboys twist and bend the truth to make their beloved company look good.
