A recent study by Quantcast, the prestigious market research firm, has shown that Google’s Android is growing fast in the Smartphone industry. But the market is still dominated by the iPhone from Apple.
The operating system from Google is growing their market share, with the Android-based smartphones are now acquiring a total of the 25% of U.S. mobile internet traffic, well ahead of the BlackBerry traffic.
Apple is still the dominant player with the iOS accounting for around 56% of U.S. web traffic. However it’s a loss of 12% of the total market share for Apple who used to attarct 68% of the U.S. mobile internet traffic 1 year back in September, 2009. At the same time Android has shown a fantastic growth in their market share. Android has registered a growth of more than 300% from its market share of 8% in September, 2009 when they used to enjoy only 8% of the U.S. mobile web traffic.
Research In Motion’s share of the Smartphone market in U.S. has remained relatively flat at a 9%, as BlackBerry devices have continued to dominate the enterprise market. However BlackBerry has failed to catch on the greater population of the Smartphone users.
