  Ok two markets, U.S. and Japan. From the same article: In markets where Android is leading, it is consolidating its lead, accounting for over half of all smartphone sales in the 12 weeks ending December 23. Doesn't sound like something Apple fans should be cheering about to me. Personally I'm not anti-Apple. I'd just like to see them get back to making interesting new stuff instead of polishing what they already have and suing everybody.

    I've seen the exact opposite iOS vs Android numbers for Japan though I have no theory on why there is the discrepancy. And it's worth noting that the fancy phones a lot of people have in Japan don't count as "smartphones" so only 25% of people have "smartphones" vs 40-50-60% of the market in other nations, in other words there's more scope for these numbers to change (in either direction), assuming the Japanese move to "smartphones" en masse. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57497144-94/android-apple-tops-among-smartphone-users-in-japan/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57497144-94/android-apple-t...
