ComScore: Android jumps ahead of iOS in total US smartphone subscribers

We’ve seen plenty of data to show that Android is the hottest-selling smartphone OS among US buyers today, but now we have a stat point to show that it’s doing pretty well in cumulative terms as well. According to ComScore’s latest estimates, Android had 26 percent of all US smartphone subscribers in the quarter ending November 2010, bettering Apple’s iPhone for the first time. The major victim of Android’s ascendancy has actually been RIM’s BlackBerry, whose lead at the top contracted by 4.1 percentage points (nearly 11 percent less than the share it had in the previous quarter). Guess those Verizon iPhones and dual-core BBs had better start arriving pretty soon.

ComScore: Android grows, iPhone stagnates, everyone else loses in US smartphone market share

This is getting to be something of a familiar story . ComScore's latest smartphone ownership figures for the US, spanning the quarter between July and September this year, show Android continuing to gain ground on its contemporaries with 44 percent growth of its share of smartphone subscribers -- to the detriment of almost everyone else in the market. Only Apple's iOS manages to maintain its slice of the pie constant (an iPhone 4-fueled improvement on last quarter, when it too was losing out to the Android juggernaut), as BlackBerry OS and Windows Mobile take the brunt of the losses
