Gartner and IDG place Android 3rd worldwide after Nokia and Blackberry 2010 Q2
New numbers from Gartner Group and IDG report Android phones had 17% of the world wide market in the 2nd quarter of 2010.
Last year Android only had 1.2% of sales. That’s a fast rise in market prominence for Google’s Android operating system.
Apple inched up from 13% last year to 14.2% this year.
Blackberry declined less than 1% but Nokia’s Symbian did a nose dive from 51% to 41.2%.
Android’s success was reported earlier for the United States. The Gartner report extends it to the world.
