One day somebody will write a book called "The rise and rise of
Android" and this moment will be highlighted in bold. Canalys' latest
smartphone sales figures show that Android phone makers managed to
shift a cool 33.3 million handsets in the last quarter -- more than
any other smartphone platform out there, including the previous
leader, Symbian, which sold 31 million units. That's a mighty leap
from the 20.3 million Android devices the stats agency estimates were
sold in Q3 2010. Symbian itself grew from 29.9m in Q3 to 31m in Q4,
but Android's pace of expansion has been so rapid as to make that
irrelevant.
Update: NPD's numbers are in as well, indicating that Google now has a
53 percent share in the US market, while Windows Phone 7 has managed
to nab only two percent so far.
