When will the statisitcal madness end?
The up again, down again consumer spending habit saga continues. This time around, the market research gurus at NPD Group have declared that based upon the sales figures of the 2010 second financial quarter, Android is the king of the hill with the purchasing public, with 33% of all purchased handsets rocking Google's OS. The numbers come to us despite Apple's report of having experienced the best financial quarter in the history of the Cupertino-based company.
The most significant tidbit coming out of this story isn't that Android is on top, it's that RIM isn't. The Blackberry had been king of the mobile OS sales castle for the past three years. With the lackluster premier of their Blackberry 6 OS, and lukewarm reception for their Torch handset, the Waterloo, Canada based RIM can't be too terribly happy right about now.
