The tables are not surprising: Android continues to race ahead, with 89.9 million phones sold in the first quarter of 2012 against 35.1 million iPhones sold. The Google OS is now ultra-dominant with 59% market share, against 23% for IOS.



Other OS can only pick up the pieces: according to IDC, Symbian is still the third platform for smartphones, with 10.4 million units sold and 6.8% market share. The old OS Nokia resistant so yet, despite a 60% drop in sales compared to last year. A drop altogether logical, considering that rapidly transitions Nokia Windows Phone 7.

The number of units sold rose by contrast, although far from being huge, with 3.3 million units sold in three months.
The other big loser is RIM: Blackberry's were definitely more the coast and in first-quarter sales fell 29.7% over the same quarter in 2011. RIM, which relies heavily on the arrival of Blackberry devices under 10 to restart a machine badly jammed.
