Android handsets out sell Apple IPhone nearly 2 to 1 in 3Q

The Smartphone growth is skyrocketing in US with iPhone4 being the top model consumers purchased in this quarter. But the overall market favored Android with 44% of market share. Apple's iOS devices sales in steady, RIM lost most of the market share to Android. The new release of Blackberry torch did not do much help to RIM. The next battle among these players would be the tablet market. Apple is in forefront with their iPads capturing 95% of market share and Both RIM and Android based tablets sales may increase this during the holiday season. Juniper Research projected the number of annual shipments for tablet devices to reach 81 million by 2015, which leaves a room for market of 75M devices by 2015. On the other hand, Windows Phone 7 who is late in the game got good reviews from industry. They may not dent the US market in 2011 but we cannot underestimate software giant like Microsoft.
