ABI: Android Captured 46% of the Market Share in Q2
ABI just released their Q2 numbers for smartphone operating systems and OEMs. Android came out ahead, as usual (feels good to say that), with 46% of the market share in Q2’11. They have Nokia at 16% as they fail to capture mind share from users in light of more contemporary operating systems. We’re still seeking numbers from the rest of the software vendors. The breakdown of OEMs’ Android-based shipments is as follows: Samsung accounted for 34%, HTC for 23%, and Sony Ericsson took 11% in Q2, with other OEMs having to be lumped into an “other” category until we can scrape together the full slate of numbers. Well update this post once we do. [Reuters]
