Report: Apple losing some U.S. mobile Web users to Android
Posted by Alisa Zykova on September 7, 2010 at 8:32 AM
Google's Android-run devices now represent 25 percent of mobile Internet platforms, compared to 10 percent in August 2009, a Qantcast report published Friday shows, according to CNet News. Meanwhile, Apple has been experiencing diminished figures; with its iOS devices seeing 56 percent usage, compared to 70 percent last year. Also, devices running on RIM dropped from 10 to 9 percent since 2009, while "other" platforms accounted for 10 percent of U.S. mobile Internet use, according to Apple Insider.

Android kicked off the year with nearly 19 percent of the market share,
and went on to take 11 percent from Apple's iOS, 1.6 percent from
Research in Motion's Blackberry device and 5.7 percent from other
providers (i.e. Microsoft Windows Mobile and Palm's WebOS) according to E Week.
The phenomenon may persist, CNet pointed out, if Apple's competitors continue to release more Android phones.
