A new survey conducted by a private research firm in United States revealed that the Android smartphones are dominating the smartphone market with more than 36 percent market share.
Survey conducted by Nielsen found that Android smartphones have outplayed the Apple iPhone and BlackBerry to become the most popular smartphones in United States. During the survey, Nelson interviewed 65,000 users and found that about 36 percent of them are using smartphones running on Android platform.
Apple's iconic device iPhone settled in the second spot with 26 percent share, but its gap with Android has widen further. The openness and variety with the Android platform made users to think over Apple iPhone. Research In Motion's BlackBerry smartphone remained in the third spot with 23 percent share.
