that is expected. android phones are a lot cheaper than iphone and in this tough economy, most will choose an android phone specifically a samsung android phone.

Or perhaps they were choosing Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, Acer, Sony, etc over the iPhone. There's always this confusion about android/iOS and iPhone/abdroid phones.

Sincerely, I think the best OS for first time users is Android.
It's a wide open plataform with a promising growth, with increasingly amount of free apps.
No need of jailbreak and no limitations of iTunes.

AnonD-25472, 08 Feb 2012You guys are being unfair towards apple. Basicly, compared to other companies, apple won. Its ... moreYou mean just like the way people compares Apples profits as a whole with iPods, MacBooks, Macs, iPhones, App downloads etc etc against Samsung, Sony and LG's handset divisions etc?
Do you know how small Apples profits would be compared to Samsung, Sony and LG for example if these companies put together all profits from all division like TV's, Audio, Laptops, Music and other hardware just like Apple does.

Why you peeps make it like a religion? why can't people live with BOTH?
Android and IOS both have strengths and weaknesses in various departments, nothing is complete in this life so is mobile OSes.
I have both Galaxy S2 and Iphone 4S but using Galaxy more because of my personal needs.
but don't tell me to use WP7, I've used it before and yucK!!!!

Only survivors will be android...

[deleted post]Yeah right... the hell you are using android, it ia more like u use an iphone... because there u can feel cheated and stay stubborn, because u didnt spend money on it... you spend a freakin hell of money on it... I probably would also be stubborn as hell, if I nearly spend a 1000$ for a phone, where I could buy a PC a top notch pc for.

There is no logic involved... OS is what counts... is it Google fault, that Apple choose to sell only one overpriced device? It shows just, that people buy cheaper android phones... it is not like you cannot get a cheap iOS device, lile 3GS, but that didnt help them, did it?
By the way... those 100$ android phonea are cheap to get, but proves nothing, cuz people always say apple has only one product... Not true... Apple has only 1 high end product and those of the years bsfore get forgotten? That what is even more cheap.

Would an iPhone be as succesful as it is, just running Android instead of iOS? I dont think so... so whats important? OS or Phone Manufacturer? O believe OS and that shows, how great google and apple are in their own ways. Ah and dude... I happend to ask my neighbor about WP7 and he asked: "what?"

Android is very amazing to use and have a large variety of apps compare to IOS and also android smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S, S II, Note are very powerful and much better than an Iphone.

if we are talking about iOS vs Android and others. iOS is for Apple products only but Android is divided for other smartphone products which includes, Samsung, LG and others to name. So if you will sum up iOS or iPhone still share the largest in the market.
