| mrstickball said: At any rate, Gartner finally released their smartphone data for Q2 2011. Android was up significantly. They now control 43% of smartphone sales, worldwide: http://www.gsmarena.com/gartner_q2_report_nokia_still_top_smartphone_maker-news-2992.php Over 48 million handsets were sold in Q2. Certainly no plateau. |
Here we go again...
I never suggested that worldwide Android marketshare had plateaued. I specifically referred to the US market. Scroll up if you don't believe me. That's the market where NPD says sales of handsets with Android have gone from 53% market share in Q4 2010, to 50% in Q1 2011, and now 52% in Q2 2011:

A 4% range in three quarters. That's margin of error territory, and it's pretty flat.
