Android is the Now the leaser of the US smartphone Market

The analysts from Nielsen have just published their report on the smartphone market in the US and revealed that Android is still the most popular platform there. 43-percent of all US mobile subscribers now own a smartphone and 43% of them have a device running the Google OS.

The 43% market share represents a 4 percent points increase compared to the Android result in Q2. In fact, Android is the only platform to gain ground over the past three months in the US.

In second place, iOS is not doing too bad either, managing to retain its 28% market share. Thats despite the fact that Apple did not release a new iPhone in Q3, so the Cupertino-based company should have every reason to be optimistic about the Holiday season.
