        android is king!, 20 Apr 2011considering that android only just came out, give a 1 year ... moreerm...

        Android came out in 2008. Hardly "only just"

        Iphone was not far ahead at the end of 2007 so if you look at it that way they're both of similar age in the market. Consider also that Android is available on handsets made by nearly all manufacturers, then it shows that it aint that good - people still want iOS as they know what they're getting & that they'll get at least 2 major OS updates. As opposed to Android where you wait for months after the latest version has been released & then you find updates withdrawn & delayed. Then after you've received 1 update you're told that there'll be no more as the company wants to sell you a different phone.

        the original iphone has only just stopped being supported.
        My HTC legend is less than a year old & is no longer supported by HTC.

        I'm glad I also got an iphone & I'll stick with them from now on thanks. I've had more updates from them in 6 months than all my other previous phones combined.

              & the fragmentation refers to the fact that you can still buy Android phones brand new with Android 1.6 right through to 2.3

              Several Apps won't work with different versions of android. I'd say that's pretty fragmented. Wouldn't you.

              & as for iphone not being a smartphone - that's laughable. Unjailbroken it still has more capability than over half the android phones out there. Jailbroken & it's a very powerful piece of hardware.

              I have both a HTC legend & an iphone & I can tell you that iOS beats android hands down.

                  Let's remember how long Apple has been going compared with Android. I think Android on the same time line would far surpass Apples figure.

                                  this is bollucks man...android only stepped into tablet, and the phones have been in progress for barely 2-3 years.. ios devices are iphone, ipod touch, ipad, so comparing number of mobile and tablets with all of that is unfair and stupid..

                                    iOS and iPhone took a mighty long time to get that userbase.. Androids started their march only a little time ago..

                                    These numbers are going to be trivial compared to what the Green Robot is going to do to in this world...

                                        Hey, get a clue. Here is a study of the most sold phones in the developped markets and it shows that Android rocks:
                                        http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/18/smartphone-market-android-win-nokia-rim-lose
                                        and because the iPhones went under the Androids now the Apple supporters are counting iOS devices. When all android devices (tablets included) surpass iOS then they will count all the apples in the grocery store to prove that they are bigger - pathetic :-)
                                        Please, Gsm arena, publish the studies for both sides - be objective. Thanks in advance!
