Who's Number One

If you ask most people the question “who is the number one company in US Smartphone sales?” you’ll probably get the answer: the iFruit company. Surprisingly enough, that answer is wrong. The number one company in Smartphone sales is, and has been for quite a while, Samsung. LG is number two and iFruit phones are third.

For the quarter ending February 29th Samsung had 25.6% of the market, LG had 19.4% and iFruit 13.5%. They were trailed by Motorola with 12.8% and HTC with 6.3%.

As for operating systems, Android is the clear leader with 50.1%, far ahead of iFruit’s 30.2%. RIM is down to 13.4% but they are still far ahead of MSFT’s 3.9% (and shrinking) and Symbian’s miniscule 1.5%.

The iFruit company gets most of the buzz but Android gets most of the sales. Users who are spending their hard earned money on a new phone are voting for Android in this election.
