A serious study conducted by NPD Group on a panel of 150'000 consumers pointed out that Android is actually the second more used mobile OS (28%) in US after BlackBerry (36%). iPhone is the third mobile OS with 21%.Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison gave a statement about this study:
This is a very limited report on 150,000 US consumers responding to an online survey and does not account for the more than 85 million iPhone and iPod touch customers worldwide. IDC figures show that iPhone has 16.1 percent of the smartphone market and growing, far outselling Android on a worldwide basis. We had a record quarter with iPhone sales growing by 131 percent and with our new iPhone OS 4.0 software coming this summer, we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon.
Interesting how Apple is taking such a defensive position...
