comScore has an interesting report which compares three month average trends in the mobile world. In the three month average ending in May, comScore’s report finds RIM still atop the smartphone platform and Samsung the leading OEM manufacturer, but it is worth noting the growth Android experienced during this time.
RIM went from 42.1% to 41.7% meaning a -.4 change. Apple went from 25.4% to 24.4% meaning a -1.0 change. Microsoft went from 15.1% to 13.2% meaning a -1.9 change. Google Android went from 9.0% to 13.0% meaning a 4.0 change. Lastly, Palm went from 5.4% to 4.8% meaning a -0.6 change. The increased success of Android can be attributed to the launch of the Droid Incredible on Verizon, continuing sales of other Android phones, and the surmounting hype of future Android handsets. However, it is important to note this statistic does not take into consideration the successful launch of the iPhone 4.
For OEM’s, Samsung leads the charge by going from 21.4% to 22.4% meaning a 1.0 change. LG went from 21.7% to 21.5% meaning a -0.2 change. Motorola went from 22.3% to 21.2% meaning a -1.1 change. RIM went from 8.2% to 8.7% meaning a 0.5 change. Lastly, Nokia went from 8.7% to 8.1% meaning a -0.6 change. I expect Samsung and Motorola only to increase their numbers considering the impending launch of all four Galaxy S variants and the Droid X.
