ComScore: Android jumps ahead of iOS in total US smartphone subscribers

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/07/comscore-android-jumps-ahead-of-ios-in-total-us-smartphone-subs/ We've seen plenty of data to show that Android is the hottest-selling smartphone OS among US buyers today , but now we have a stat point to show that it's doing pretty well in cumulative terms as well. According to ComScore's latest estimates, Android had 26 percent of all US smartphone subscribers in the quarter ending November 2010, bettering Apple's iPhone for the first time. The major victim of Android's ascendancy has actually been RIM's BlackBerry, whose lead at the top contracted by 4.1 percentage points (nearly 11 percent less than the share it had in the previous quarter). Guess those Verizon iPhones and dual-core BBs had better start arriving pretty soon. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
