Android Saw Twice As Many Buyers As iPhone Over Past 3 Months...report says

The new-buyers breakdown, over the past 3 months:

56% of those buying a new smartphone bought an Android device
28% bought an iPhone
9% bought BlackBerry
6% bought “Other” (which contains Windows Phone, amongst others)

Of course, these stats really should have a little asterisk tucked somewhere inside. The iPhone is one phone (or two, counting the 3GS), by one manufacturer. Android is, at this point, hundreds of models, across dozens of manufacturers. That’s not said to knock Android in any way — but it’s worth noting that when the pie is split so many ways across so many manufacturers and models within, the iPhone is probably making exponentially more money for Apple than Android phones are for anyone.
Also worth noting, but immeasurable: how many would-be iPhone buyers held off with the knowledge that a new iPhone was not only on the way, but was actually behind its normal release schedule? It’ll be interesting to see these numbers for the next three months.

The majority of men I know, who have an Iphone, consider table tennis to be their favorite sport.

This is absolutely obserd....

Simply not true.......

Dante · Sep 26, 2011

completely false.....

I wouldn't doubt it.

A lot of people probably haven't bought an iPhone in the past 3 months because the iPhone 5 is coming soon.
Instead of purchasing now they are waiting for the new release.

I mean can you blame them? There's a new android phone out every 2 weeks where there's only an iPhone once a year.

That's because new iPhone is supposed to be coming out soon. Sales will rocket once it does. I'm an Android user myself - EVO4G.

You will love it. Perfect to carry around anywhere and much more comfortable than a laptop. I hardly use a laptop anymore. It's light and the perfect size.
