We haven’t uploaded many graphs recently, so let’s rectify that in style with this – the latest data highlighting the meteoric adoption of Android.
Compiled by Quantcast, the below graph shows mobile web use broken down by operating system. The Android line is coloured in red because Android is LITERALLY ON FIRE.
Quantcast says Android “took share from every corner of the market” in August 2010 and enjoyed its best month in North America since November 2009, when the Motorola DROID growth spurt kicked the OS up into another gear. Link via Android Police.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
