The real game starts now.. until now its just a two ball game.. now the big M too enters with its Mango... so sure to see the drop of android sales.. may not be too much... but now WP7, android n apple make it equal shares.

AnonD-15787, 31 Aug 2011Do you think customers really care if android have 100,000 ... more"they want the latest hardware with superb specs not outdated specs "
So why iPhone 4 is still after year most selling smartphone? :)
WRONG, you need to understand that nowdays most of the potential smartphone buyers are normal people who has no clue about tech or don't care. All what really matter is first impression when you test phone at store, that's all you need. Of course people like us (tech people) look specs.
By the way what you do with those superb specs? galaxy s2 is good example, super specs which you hardly can benefit :) But i think it's good to say i have dual core phone, right :)?
When iPhone 5 comes that dual core actually is going do something and i'm sure there's coming many many games very fast which uses dual core. So people actually can use that extra speed! ;)

anyway great job Samsung and Google they did great job
without their new US variants of Galaxy S2 which will give another push to their market share

They complained about how all those different graphics cards (monochrome, hercules, cga, ega) and modes were making development hard and how the Mac was better. But when the PC won the desktop wars, developers had to code for it. Same thing with Android. The Android installed base is so large you just cant ignore it.

Android easily kick iOS butt!"
You are so wrong, it's opposite, devs are going for iOS because there's move money and it's much easier to get game working with iPhone than many android specs, android is very fragmented nowdays.
Tell me one big game which has came for android after dual cpu added and benefit that which isn't already for iOS.
You are going to get those games after iPhone 5 launch, not before :)
"Developers Favoring iOS Over Android, Study Shows"
http://www.pcworld.com/article/235851/developers_favoring_ios_over_android_study_shows.html
"More than half (57 percent) of new projects in the second quarter of this year were developed for the iPhone/iPod Touch,"
See this: "while Android app development was down to 28 percent (from 36 percent in the first quarter)." BIG DROP!
"Indeed, the fragmentation issue is something that has haunted Android since its inception. While I wouldn't consider the app store issue that big of a problem, dealing with the many shapes and sizes Android devices come in these days is. Despite the criticism of Apple's single-device strategy, having only a few devices that run a unified version of iOS does help out the developer.
Development is much easier because your design considerations only need to take into account the differences between a handful of devices--not multiple devices running multiple versions of Android. There's just no way you can test and ensure compatibility among all those devices until your app is in the wild."
Android is falling apart day after day and is going to be more fragmented day after day and we should not forget all the malwares and viruses and worms :)

Let me guess, those "Microsoft" figures include Windows Mobile 6/6.5? (many business users still bang along with these).
It would be interesting to see the market share of WP7 alone.

That's because people can't walk into a phone store without the sales assistant trying to shove a POS android down their throat.
Enjoy your time at the top fanboys, because the parade is about to be washed out by Hurricane Microkiapple.
