Smartphone Sales: Apple Squeezed, Blackberry Squashed, Android 81.3%

mrspoonsi writes "Engadget reports: Smartphone market share for the third quarter...as you'd imagine, the world is still Android's oyster. Strategy Analytics estimates that the OS has crossed the symbolic 80 percent mark, reaching 81.3 percent of smartphone shipments by the end of September. Not that Google was the only company doing well — Nokia's strong US sales helped Windows Phone grow to 4.1 percent of the market, or nearly double what it had a year ago."

He's just bitter that he's stuck in the apple world partly because of the apps he bought, partly due to pride in defending his choice.

The user with "a million lemmings can't be wrong" as their sig thinks that popularity is more important than profitability. Classic.
