Android Holds Over a Third of the Smartphone Market for Q1
May 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Gartner’s numbers strike again, and its good news for Android’s smartphone market.
According to the press release on Gartner’s Newsroom, the 36,267.8 units sold made Android’s percent of worldwide smartphone sales come in at 36%, which is nearly four times as much as Q1 of 2010.
Symbian came in second with 27%, a fall from their 44.2% last year. Apple’s iOS held 16.8% for Q1 2011, only a slight increase from Q1 2010 at 15.3%.
Android’s biggest hurtle and competition would be Nokia’s Symbian OS’ newly established support of Windows Phone 7. With Symbian dropping out of the race, other Operating Systems will without a doubt be making a mad dash for their remaining 27% of the market. On the other hand, the Nokia support will most likely launch the WP7 up in the market considerably.

How’s this make you feel inside?

Samsung Reaches 3 Million in Sales for Galaxy S Androids
November 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Only two months ago, Samsung had announced that they had hit the one million mark with their Galaxy S devices sold in the US. Now they’ve just announced that they’ve climbed to an impressive 3 million sales for Galaxy S smartphones, just in the US. That’s some pretty shocking statistics to say the least. A representative from Samsung stated that they wish they had a larger supply to satisfy the demand of the devices. Because of the shortages of AMOLED displays, they predict that product may slow down until 2012. Worldwide, Samsung has sold over 7 million Galaxy S devices, and that number is still increasing. With the Nexus Two right around the corner, we can only imagine what that will do for sales.
