Smartphone Sales: Apple Squeezed, Blackberry Squashed, Android 81.3%

mrspoonsi writes "Engadget reports: Smartphone market share for the third quarter...as you'd imagine, the world is still Android's oyster. Strategy Analytics estimates that the OS has crossed the symbolic 80 percent mark, reaching 81.3 percent of smartphone shipments by the end of September. Not that Google was the only company doing well — Nokia's strong US sales helped Windows Phone grow to 4.1 percent of the market, or nearly double what it had a year ago."

Mac had the worst SCSI implementation ever devised, had proprietary SCSI connectors, had the worst networking in the market, and had CPUs that lacked memory management hardware. Meanwhile, those 286's had complete protected memory subsystems. You are mistaken...what a surprise.
