LG Overtakes Apple To Claim Second Place In U.S. Phone Market Share [Report]
Just a few weeks ago, we reported that Samsung and Apple were the only two smartphone manufacturers seeing growth in the United States, and that the pair were slowly eating away at their rivals’ market share. But when you take old-fashioned feature phones into account, the situation looks a little different.
New data from Counterpoint Research suggests that strong December sales have helped LG overtake Apple to claim the second-largest stake of the U.S. phone market. As you might expect, Samsung is still way ahead in first.
The Nexus 7’s Price Tag Makes It A Better Buy Than The iPad For Tablet Users In Japan
The iPad may be the king of tablets in some markets, but Apple’s device cannot compete with the Nexus 7 in Japan. Its premium price tag is causing tablet buyers to opt for Google’s 7-inch slate instead, despite its smaller display and lack of a rear-facing camera. One survey of Japanese electronics stores has found that the Nexus 7 has claimed 44.4% of the tablet market.

Apple iPad Loses Market Share To Android Tablets [Report]
Android tablets have grabbed 14 percent of tablet market share, according to new research. While Apple’s iPad is still king, with up to 55 percent of third-quarter tablet shipments, tablets running the Google Android system are gaining ground, and fast.
ABI Research found data that shows the iPad losing more of its dominant position to Android competitors, as reported on CNET today. The iPad is showing a decline of 14 percent, the lowest its been since the iPad was introduced two years ago. Samsung, Amazon, and Asus tablets were among the tablet manufacturers that account for that Android increase, with the Google operating system powering over 44 percent of all tablets shipped.
IDC: Android Amasses 75% Market Share In Q3 2012, iOS Barely Breaking Double Digits
Market research firm IDC, has released market share figures for Q3 2012 and boy does it look good for Android. Continuing to dominate smartphone market share, Android accounted for 75% of the 181.1 million smartphones shipped in Q3 2012. Those numbers are absolutely insane, and to put things into perspective, if you round up all smartphones ever shipped in the year 2007, it still wouldn’t be as many as Android has shipped in Q3 2012 alone!
Android And iOS Account For 85% Of Smartphones Shipped In Q2 2012
As smartphone shipments surge, the mobile market remains dominated by two operating systems: Android and iOS. Android maintains a commanding lead, with over 68% of all smartphones shipping with the young and robust OS.

Nielsen: Android And iOS Continue To Lead Smartphone Market Share In The U.S.
No surprises as the latest Nielsen numbers show Android and iOS leading U.S. smartphone market share. Both operating systems continue to gain at the expense of RIM — who has all but fallen into the “Other” category. Speaking of the “Other” category: Windows mobile, Windows 7, Symbian, and Palm/WebOS were all grouped together, combining for a measly 5.9% market share.
The IDC Reaffirms What We Already Know: Android And iOS Dominate The Mobile Market

Android continues to lead the pack with a total of 59% of the 152.3 million smartphones shipped, while iOS accounted for 23% respectively. Combined they populate 82% of the smartphone market, up 27.6% since Q1 2011. These numbers are an amazing testament to Android’s growth as well as iOS’s stability (which is amazing considering they only have a few devices).
Share Of OS Smartphone Sales Continues To Be A Two Horse Race
