My understanding is that that rate does not exceed the overall growth of the market, though. So Android activations are growing in absolute numbers, but their portion of "all smartphones sold" is not.

Is a lot more helpful. There's still a lot of market to cover, so it's not like iOS and Android are cannibalizing each others sales yet.

#5i like Android. Sprint and T-Mobile are already swamped with Android phones. There's no room for growth there. the iPhone is already the best selling smartphone on Verizon after only 4-5 months.

Android should go after AT&T fast.

The 500k are world wide.

#7Nielson's data:

Nielson's analysis is equally bad. FTA, "Android share of recent acquirers flattened in 2011; Apple is now driving smartphone growth." This is simply not true. Android is still grabbing the largest portion of new smartphone users.

The difference between the titles is very interesting: "Apple up, Android flat in smartphone growth" vs the original "_In US_, Smartphones Now Majority of New Cellphone Purchases". Yes, the US market is big, but not the only one.

There are already Android handsets on AT&T, and the iPhone still sells better there (per the link you provide).

Well of course it's the best selling phone. Apple bets the entire platform on a single phone; Android has a panoply of options competing against each other. If the iPhone were being consistently outsold by any one of the various Android models, that would be a sign that something was going seriously wrong for Apple.
That article merely demonstrates that statistics will tell you anything.
