Victory for Android
by Mike, posted on August 2, 2010
With all the fuss about iPhones lately, one would think that they are selling like hotcakes. Perhaps they are, but they aren’t the most popular smartphone. The Android has outsold the iPhone for the first six months of the year, which may come as a shock to some, given the long lines that awaited Apple stores on the day that the iPhone 4 bowed.
This revelation comes from Nielsen, the ratings powerhouse that also handles television ratings. It’s worth mentioning that the iPhone didn’t actually go on sale in the second quarter’s closing week, which may skewer the actual numbers. The proof in the proverbial pudding will be the figures at the end of the year.
It will also be interesting to see what happens when iPhone goes to another carrier, which may happen soon, if the rumors are correct that Verizon Wireless will be offering the phone.
