iPhone marketIt'll be interesting to see how many iPhones Verizon sells when it comes out, and if Verizon is up to the task of all those new users at once. | |

Re: iPhone marketThe stats are all wrong. Where is this guy getting 19% market share for android? From 2008? Thanks to continued high-profile handset introductions, the Android smartphone operating system (OS) significantly grew its lead in the U.S. consumer smartphone market in the third quarter (Q3). According to The NPD Group, a leading market research company, Android's OS was installed in 44 percent of all smartphones purchased in Q3, an increase of 11 percentage points since Q2; Apple iOS held relatively steady versus last quarter, rising one percentage point to 23 percent; RIM OS, fell to third position, declining from 28 percent to 22 percent. » www.npd.com/press/releas ··· 101.htmlEdit: older link that shows android had the largest market share earlier this year: » www.engadget.com/2010/08 ··· tphones/ | |

Re: iPhone marketYou are misunderstanding the data. Current marketshare is 19% for Android (IE, numer of phones in use today). The numbers you quoted were sales in the last quarter. Those sales indicate growing marketshare, but are not the same as absolute (current) marketshare.
This does indicate that Android (outselling iPhone 2-1) is curerntly on pace to overtake both RIM and Apple in total marketshare at some point. | |

Re: iPhone marketIt's a shame really. Seems you're letting your pride get in the way of your intelligence.
Yes, Android has roughly 19% of the CURRENT US market. However, over the last 3 months, nearly half of all smartphones sold were Android, which caused the leap. Because last quarter, Android was estimated to be about 12% of total marketshare. They've made a HUGE leap this year. Really, the release of the Moto Droid last November is what started to propel Android.
What you're not seemingly able to grasp is that the 19% marketshare is of CURRENT share. For example, my wife bought her iPhone 4 in June. That's outside of the last quarter's sales. Does that mean that my wife, who still uses her phone, doesn't count? Incorrect. She's part of the total picture, but not the last quarter.
The numbers are correct. Hopefully, you'll figure it out, because numerous people here have helped to explain it in various ways. But honestly, I don't think it's intelligence causing you to not grasp this. I think it's the fact that you may just be a fanboy (either for Google or against Apple) and you truly want to believe that Android has already accumulated 40+% of the total market, which they clearly have not. They'd have to keep their current pace for 2 more years for that to happen. | |

Huh. This seems to indicate that the social app developers who do it first for iPhone were "sort of right all along", except that there might be a slight skew towards more market share of Android with younger users compared to older users? I don't know. But it answers my questions. I don't dispute the #s. | |

Click the "Nielsen" link in the original Article. Nielsen provides two numbers. They claim 19% current marketshare for Android, and 41% sales over the last quarter (nearly matching the 43-44% number you provided).
Like I said, sales over the last quarter is NOT marketshare. The numbers you quoted are correct, but you're misinterpreting them. | |

Probably. I'm not fan of Verizon but no provider can fuck up anythig as bad as AT&T can. They SUCK! | |
|

one daysomeone will find a way of putting android on an iphone, then the marketshare could double. short of that- verizon's contribution won't push the market of iphones beyond another 10-15%, as most of Verizon's win, is at&t's loss. | |

I got my first smart phone when the Droid came out- I didn't think I'd have much use for the features as I have Internet at home and work, and don't need one for my job. I mostly liked the free GPS navigation. Saved me the trouble and expense of buying a navigation system and a new phone. Now I use it every day, though I seldom text and don't make or recieve many calls on it. Once people get one, they'll be using it. | |

My first was the PPC-6800, then switched to the HTC Touch Pro (w/latest EnergyROM). After at&t takes over Alltel here (1st of the year), I'll be looking into a pair of Droid2's. I swear, I couldn't go back to a plain phone if I tried. I'd go crazy. | |

The cardinal number equal to 1000000 x 1000000000", .001% still equals 1 trillion smart phone users. | |

That's what the lower cost data plans from most providers are for. "Lower cost" is subjective. Charging 100X cost is hardly lower. Show me a $15 plan with 10 GB WITH tethering and $1 per GB overage. Then maybe we'll be talking about a "low cost" plan. I doubt we'll see a plan like that before 2020 if ever. | |

I believe you're looking for the term "lower value". The lower priced data plans have lower value, worthless. You're looking for something "higher value", "$15 plan with 10 GB WITH tethering and $1 per GB overage." I would go with a $15 plan with 10GB because I'll never get to 10GB and would dump my $25 unlimited plan. This mythical $15 is worth more to me, higher value. | |

Unfortunately, they found that data was eating into their voice minutes and had to stop it. So they ditched the unlimited plans, forced everyone into absurdly limited plans, and charged a ridiculous price for it to counterbalance the lower voice usage. I'm sure killing off the land-line didn't help matters, either. It just added more reasoning to their "charge more, get less" plan. Wait, we're talking at&t, right? | |
