So Android is winning by a small margin so far.

Also, I wanna share this tidbit:

According to research firm IDC, Google’s Android OS has been bringing in some exceptional numbers during this year’s Q3. As reported by the Huffington Post, Android held a monstrous 68% of the world’s smartphone market share, followed by Apple at 17%. During Q3, a total of 104.8 million devices were sold which is quite the jump from last year’s Q3 figures.

Following Google and Apple is RIM at 4.8%, Symbian at 4.4%, and Microsoft at 3.5%. Of course, analysts will be keeping their eyes glued to Apple’s numbers as the iPhone 5 begins to become available for consumers.

This is obviously going to change massively with the arrival of the iPhone 5, but even so, its clear where the consumer preference is.

 

Just no...there is only 1 iOS device and 1 million android devices...it's a ridiculous comparison to make

I agree. Nevertheless the 17% iOS is an unbelievable number for just one product.
