41% of new smartphone buyers choose Android

“‘The race for the lead in US. smartphone operating system (OS) consumer market share is tighter than it has ever been,” begins a blog post today on Nielsen Wire. The winner is? No one yet. Apple’s iPhone leads in total US consumer market share, while most people who recently bought a smartphone chose Android. I’m among them. “This race might still be too close to call,’ Nielsen asserts.

Perhaps the more important data point is about the broader smartphone category. ‘In November, 45 percent of recent acquirers chose a smartphone over a feature phone,’ according to the Nielsen post. That’s up from 34 percent in June. Apple and Research in motion are ‘statistically tied’ with respect to US smartphone OS market share — 28.6 percent and 26.1 percent, respectively. Android’s share is 25.8 percent.”
