The most recent ComScore results from the last quarter are in, and the united states mobile device wars were hotter than ever as 13% more people reported owning a smartphone. Google conquered most users’ territory with Android climbing just over five percent (now totaling 36.4%) and still claiming first for mobile software platforms. Apple’s iOS destroyer took second place (at 26%) partially because of the RIM’s S.S. BlackBerry OS sinking about five percent (now 25.7%) to assert third, while Microsoft and HP / Palm rounded out the bunch struggling to remain within the fight with even lower single-digit scores. Within the OEM region Samsung claimed first once again (although slightly dropping to 24.5%), with LG and Motorola landing in second and third respectively, each keeping its place from the prior quarter. Within the last two slots, Apple again bested RIM whose devices barely dropped half a percent, but enough to let the slight growth of iDevices snatch up 4th.
