Android’s market share doubled, iPhone saw 25% rise

by Zaib on February 9, 2010

Comscore has just released a report that tells us the growth of different mobile platforms during September-December time period. They have mentioned the top mobile platforms and showed their growth. As we can see that Android’s share doubled during the time period from 2.5% to 5.2%. Apple saw a little growth but still owns the 25.3% of the market share in the US. In December 2009 RIM was still the leading mobile smartphone operating system in the U.S., with 41.6% market share, Microsoft lost one percentage point and dropped to 18% share, but the platform that saw the most fall was Palm, which dropped from 8.3% to 6.1%.

“iPhone saw 25% rise” is, by even the most generous and lenient standards of mathematical incompetence I can muster, completely wrong. During the reported timeframe the iphone saw about a 5% rise.

Its how you see it Carl. 25% rise means in total (coz thats the total market share held by iPhone) with a rise during this period…
