The number of smart phone owners who use Google's Android OS in the U.S. is almost as great as those who use Apple's iPhone, following a massive Android sales jump, according to tracking firm comScore.

In the three months ending in October, the share of Android users had risen sharply from 17 to 23.5 percent, says the report. Meanwhile, iPhone share couldn't even rise a single percent, going from 23.8 to 24.6 percent.

Neck and neck a month ago, Android will presumably pass iPhone in the current quarter, which includes the bulk of holiday sales. However, if, as expected, Apple introduces a Verizon-flavored iPhone in January, the tables could turn.

Meanwhile, RIM's fortunes fell again, as the BlackBerry lost 3.5 percent share. It is, nevertheless, still in the lead: 35.8 percent of smart phones in use in the U.S are BlackBerrys.

Damn artificial humans. Stealing all our jobs for near free because they don't need to eat.

I'll wait for Stickball to comment as I get all of my mobile opinions from him.

I dont know how they are the best, after getting my EVO I will never own another Blackberry again. Blackberry just isnt meant for everyday people IMO.

Not to mention iPod touches use the same iOS as well as iPads. Are those counted or JUST the iPhone (since both iPod and iPad can do the same apps).

Good for Android.

What Train wreck means is that only Apple does the iphone (like RIM and blackberry).

Probably every major cell phone manufacturer does at least ONE android phone.

That's a lot of Android phones going up against a handful from RIM and a couple from Apple.

Android is still on 4 of the major carriers in the US while iPhone is on one of them. I believe they only count actual iPhone activations.
