I call bs on Apple gaining ground leaps and bounds over android in just the last few months. Very very unlikely. Especially since I’m seeing more and more android handsets popping up when I go out.
I though of that too, but then I read the source article more carefully. It’s talking about only NEW SMARTPHONE users, meaning people, who’s never had a smartphone before, or even a cell phone. It makes sense, because we all know about the perception that iOS is easier for a newbie to figure out what a smartphone can do – Angry Birds, oh yeah [/sarcasm].
And… US market specific too.
IMO Android’s domination has gone far enough. We all need competition.
