Android smartphones sales overtake iPhones & BlackBerries

By Jamaica Observer
ANDROID smartphones have come out on top in sales for the very first time over iPhone and BlackBerry devices in the US as shown in the most current Nielsen Co survey done right before Verizon Wireless starting selling the iPhone.
Android devices that were made by several different manufacturers were used by 29 per cent of customers in the US market during the timeframe between November and January. In comparison, 27 per cent of customers used both Apple iPhones and BlackBerry devices from Research in Motion.
The most current report starting in December shows that the three top smartphone operating systems were tied,  but they report that Android is the closest to the lead.
Microsoft's Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 smartphones had 10 per cent of the US market in the November through January timeframe, while the WebOS from Hewlett-Packard went up 4 per cent and Symbian from Nokia went up 2 per cent.
