Android Passes iOS For Overall U.S. Smartphone Subscribers
Android Passes iOS For Overall U.S. Smartphone Subscribers
comScore’s monthly smartphone data is in and it looks like for the first time Android OS has surpassed Apple’s iOS in terms of U.S. smartphone subscriber share. The data, which measured smartphone usage from September until December of 2010, showed that 63.2 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones during period, up 7.3 percent from the preceding three month period.
RIM once again led with 31.6 percent market share of smartphones, and Google’s Android OS maintained the #2 position with 28.7 percent, which is up 7.3 percentage points versus September. Apple accounted for 25 percent of smartphone subscribers (up 0.7 percentage points), followed by Microsoft with 8.4 percent and Palm with 3.7 percent.
In terms of total mobile device usage, 234 million Americans ages 13 and older used mobile devices during the period. Samsung ranked as the top device manufactuerer with 24.8 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers, up 1.3 percentage points from the three month period ending in September. LG ranked second with 20.9 percent share, followed by Motorola (16.7 percent), RIM (8.5 percent) and Nokia (7.0 percent).
comScore also examines mobile content usage on phones; reporting that in December, 68 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers used text messaging on their mobile device, up only 1 percent from the previous three month period, while browsers were used by 36.4 percent of subscribers (up 1.3 percent). Interaction on mobile devices was up as a whole, with subscribers who used downloaded applications comprising 34.4 percent of the mobile audience, representing an increase of 1.3 percent. And 24.7 of U.S. subscriber accessed social networking sites or blogs via their phones, which is an increase of 1.5 percent. Playing games attracted 23.2 percent of the mobile audience, while listening to music attracted 15.7 percent of subscribers.
While this data indicates reach vs. number of units sold or sales, Android has continued to grow strongly over the past year.

Presenting the Google Android Honeycomb
Google held an event to present the new version of their mobile OS, the Android Honeycomb. This was developed for tablets. In the event, the Android team showed off some of the Honeycomb features, such as its improved 3D rendering engine and widgets.
In the event guests took turns playing with the Motorola Xoom running on Honeycomb. One of the changes you’ll immediate see is that the dedicated hardware buttons for the Menu options are gone. These are replaced by the Action Bar located at the top of the screen. The options change depending on the running application.
If you’re using the browser then you’ll find the open tabs in the Action Bar. If you’re using the movie editing app, buttons to import a new clip will appear. Most applications have a settings button at the far right-hand side of the Action Bar.
The Honeycomb browser would give the iPad browser a run for its money. You can sync your tablet browser with your desktop version of Google Chrome. Plus the Incognito Mode is available in this version.
Other features there are improved on the Honeycomb are Gmail, copy and paste, Android Market IU, and overall performance. There are new apps made specifically for the Honeycomb, such as the Movie Studio, which lets you edit movie clips with your Android tablet.

43-Percent of Smartphone Purchases Are Android-Based, Android Share Still Growing Exponentially
Nielsen has published their latest findings, this time October 2009-December 2010. Just as expected, Android is growing, and growing fast. Currently in a dead heat with both Apple and RIM, Android holds 27-percent of the current market
share.
You can see from the graph above that Android truly is skyrocketing in operating system share. RIM’s Blackberry OS has been on the decline and Apple’s iOS has been relatively steady, but once you look at Android you see a jump from just 2-percent to now 27-percent in just over a year’s time.
Also worth noting, Android is beginning to see adoption more quickly than any other mobile OS. According to the Nielsen report, 43-percent of smartphone purchases are Android-based.
2010 was an amazing year for the Android platform, and with all of the impressive devices to launch this year, along with the huge 4G push, we expect to Android completely dominate the market here soon.

http://blogs.computerworld.com/17759/six_reasons_youll_love_android_3_0_honeycomb
Google showed off Android 3.0 Honeycomb today, and it’s a big improvement over the existing version of Android, particularly for tablets. Here are six reasons you’ll love Honeycomb.
If you want a visual tour of Honeycomb, so you can see some of what I’m writing about, check out Computerworld’s Visual tour: Android 3.0 ‘Honeycomb’ has landed.
Improved task switching and multi-tasking
With Android today, there’s no simple way to see what apps you’re running and then to switch among them, as you can with desktop operating systems such as Windows and the Mac OS X. Honeycomb finally fixes that: Tap an icon on the new System Bar, and you’ll see thumbnails of all of your currently running apps, and be able to switch among them.
Better widget capabilities
Honeycomb will allow for more sophisticated, better widgets that allow for better interaction with data and with you. For example, Google showed off a Gmail gadget that allows you to scroll through your inbox without having to launch the app itself. Consider that a proof of concept more than anything else — expect developers to create some very nifty widgets for Honeycom.
Improved copy and paste
Copy and paste works in the current version of Android, but it can be kludgy, particularly when defining the text you want to copy. Honeycomb makes it much easier, with larger, easier-to-see arrows to define text. You’ll also then be able to choose what to do with the defined text such as copying it, pasting it, sharing it, and so on, by selecting what you want to do from the Action Bar.
A much better Chrome
There’s always been something important missing from Android’s Chrome browser — tabs. That’s not surprising, given that Android 1 and 2 were developed for smartphones, which don’t necessarily have enough screen real estate for tabs. But because Honeycomb has been optimized for tablets, there’s more screen real estate. So Chrome in Honeycomb gets tabs.
There’s more beyond that as well, including bookmark syncing with Google Chrome on your PC, and incognito mode.
Better notifications
Notifications are much improved. They’re now delivered in the lower-right portion of the screen, and they include much more information and content, because of the extra screen real estate. It’s not clear whether that will also hold true when Honeycomb is installed on smartphones.
Improved drag-and-drop and multi-touch
Expect there to be additional gestures and drag-and-drop capabilities. Google has shown off a new Gmail app using these so that you can, for example, move your mail between labels by dragging it.
