Android Seizes Global App Downloads Leadership

[NathanF1]

From Softpedia

It looks like the competition between Google's “stolen product” (Android) and Apple's iOS is close to resolve and things are not looking well for the latter.

Android is gaining market share with each financial quarter and the iOS seems to not be able to catch up with the former.

The last battle that Apple's iOS has just lost is the application download market share, which seems to have a new leader.

In this regard, ABI Research company states that the market shares of Android and iOS were 44% and 31% in Q2 2011.
...
However, Android’s app downloads per user are still behind iOS’ by 2 to 1 currently, given Apple's attractive monetization strategy.

According to ABI Research, global app downloads by the end of 2011 are expected to reach 29 billion, whereas last year it only achieved 9 billion. In addition, the overall smartphone install base is expected to grow 46% in 2011.
