Android controls 50% of US Smartphone Market

The Internet marketing research company comScore MobiLens has provided that the Android Smartphones only controlled 50% of the U.S. Smartphone market for the first time in February 12.

In February 12 while Apple’s share for iOS was 30.2%, RIM’s BlackBerry claimed 13.4% and Microsoft had 3.9% of the market in the U.S.

The report also offered that around 234 million Americans were using mobile device in February and around 69.5 million people in the U.S. bought Smartphones within that month.

The fact of Google’s success story was brought into light by one Horace Dediu, an analyst with Asymco, who provided the finding that while Google makes only $1.70 per Android Smartphone, Apple makes $576.30 per iPhone sale.

But in spite of the largest support towards the Android phone by the U.S., the number is low in comparison with the world market for the phone. The market for the Android phone had already approached the 50 % mark last August.
