Android: momentum, mobile and more at Google I/O. (Cross-posted on the Google Code Blog) This morning at Google I/O, the Android team shared some updates.

It’s hard to believe a little more than two and a half years ago, we were just one device, launching in one country, on one carrier. Thanks to the ecosystem of manufacturers, developers and carriers, the platform has grown exponentially.

The problem is, most of them are flawed. [ad#Google Adsense 300x250 in story]Here is the first giant flaw — you may have noticed in the headline of this story. You cannot compare Android to an iPhone. That’s comparing an operating system to a hardware device. There is no compelling argument that anyone can give that says that comparing an operating system to a hardware device makes sense. We don’t see reports of Windows 7 being compared to a Dell computer and then making assumptions about market share based on their sales. That would be like comparing one model of Mercedes against all cars that GM makes and saying the Mercedes is losing.

You can’t have it both ways. Apple iOS Platform Outreaches Android by 59 Percent in U.S. When Accounting for Mobile Phones, Tablets and Other Connected Media Devices. April 19, 2011 Apple iOS Platform Outreaches Android by 59 Percent in U.S.

HELSINKI/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Google Inc's Android dethroned Nokia's Symbian as the global leader in smartphone software during the last quarter of 2010, ending a reign that began with the birth of the industry a decade ago.

The reshuffle underscores how quickly Google, which offers its software to phone makers for free, has raced to the top of the smartphone market ahead of Apple Inc's rapid ascension. Google and Apple have revolutionized the smartphone market, sending Nokia scrambling. In the fourth quarter, phonemakers sold 32.9 million Android-equipped phones globally, roughly seven times more than the year-earlier quarter, compared with Symbian's sales of 31 million, according to Research firm Canalys. Canalys: iPhone outsold all Windows Mobile phones in Q2 2009. By Prince McLean Apple's iPhone held onto a 13.7% share of global smartphone unit sales in the second quarter, outpacing Microsoft's Windows Mobile, which now claims just 9% of the market, according to Canalys.

"Apple has revolutionized the smart phone sector, leapfrogging more experienced rivals," Canalys senior analyst Pete Cunningham said in the company's report. Sales in the second quarter did not include much of the surge in new sales spurred by the release of the iPhone 3GS. In the North American market, the iPhone grabbed a 23% share of smartphones sold, despite being tied to a single carrier in the US. Apple's US debut occurred months before sales were expanded to other countries, and international sales of iPhone really began a year later with the launch of the iPhone 3G.

In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Nokia maintained a 64% share while Apple took second place with 13.6%, followed by third place RIM with 10.3%. The perils of a competitive landscape.
