Android remains at 68.1 percent with iOS at 16.9 percent, according to IDC, while Canalys had these figures at 68.1 percent and 16.4 percent.

It is pretty incredible to read that Samsung contributed to 44 percent of Android’s success while seven other vendors took up the rest of the 24.1 percent. I wrote yesterday about HTC and how they aren’t helping out that much with this figure. It is also impressive that iOS still showed double digit growth, 27.5 percent, given that the iPhone 4S is nearly a year old now. BlackBerry is down 40.9 percent while Symbian is way down 62.9% to just 4.4% of the market.
