Here is another media report showing the power of open source, according to NPD Group, not only are Android-powered devices now outselling iPhone , but they’re also now besting BlackBerry, making Android the top selling mobile OS during the second quarter in the U.S.
NPD has the race at Android – 33%, RIM – 28%, and Apple – 22% for the period, noting that it’s the first time since Q4 2007 that the BlackBerry maker hasn’t been number one. RIM is pinning much of its hopes on getting back on top with its new BlackBerry 6 operating system and the BlackBerry Torch smartphone, the latter of which was revealed yesterday.
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Jounral, CEO Eric Schmidt said he thinks it can be a “10-plus billion dollar business,” as Android’s growing reach gives the company increasing power in mobile search.
