EN: 200 000 Android Phones sold every day, says Google
Some 200,000 new Android devices are being sold each day, up from about 100,000 just 2months ago, says Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Wired reported further that Schmidt told attendees at the Techonomy conference, "Android is not just phenomenal but incredibly phenomenal in its growth rate."
Google CEO's comment is based on the data released by Nielsen earlier this week that for the first time people in the U.S. bought more Android phones than iPhones. Same says the latest research firm iSuppli which predicts that Android's market share will surpass that of the iPhone's iOS in 2012. We can say that the diagram below speaks quite obvious.
It is expected that by 2012, Android will be used in 75 million smartphones, up from 5 million in 2009, says iSuppli. IOS will be in 62 million phones in 2012, up from 25 million in 2009. So only in 2 years, Android will have a 19.4% market share worldwide and Apple's iOS for the iPhone will have 15.9%.
"The OS started with entry-level models in 2008, but the flexibility Android offers for hardware designs and its appealing business model in terms of revenue sharing have attracted vigorous support," says Tina Teng, senior analyst, wireless communications for iSuppli.
