Sales of smartphones using Google's Android operating system have overtaken Micorsoft's Windows mobile phones for the first time.
Sales of Android phones accounted for just under 10% of all smartphones sold globally in Q110. Android phone sales have also overtaken Apple's iPhone in the North American market, accounting for 26.6% of units sold, compared with 22.1% of iPhone.
The main advantage of Android compared to Apple's iPhone is the fact that several manafacturers use the Android system and is hence available on some 20 different phones.
