According to a blog post from The Nielsen Wire Blog and a graph they have displayed (shown below) the percentage of iPhone OS users in the Smartphone world have gained 2% in the first quarter of 2010.
As the graph shows RIM with it’s BlackBerry OS is still leading the game with 30% of Market Share which is still largely due to the business sector and its use of BlackBerry handsets.
Andriod OS is still gaining market share quarter on quarter rising 2% to 9% in this first quarter. As Andriod becomes available on more handsets this figure should be set to rise over the next 6 – 12 months.
Another interesting graph is the one below which shows the percentage of users on a platform and which mobile OS they intend to move to or stick with on their next Smartphone.
It shows that only 20% of iPhone OS users are considering leaving the platform to switch to another OS compared to 30% of Andriod OS users which are considering moving to another platform.
I am an iPhone user and love the platform. I have no desire myself to jump ship at this stage. A good reason for this is because I already lived within the iTunes ecosystem with music etc and had several iPod’s so the transition to an iPhone was a real pleasure.
Please leave your thoughts.
