In second place with a bullet: <strong>Android<\/strong>, which snagged 28 percent of the national smartphone market last quarter, leapfrogging the <strong>iPhone<\/strong> and its 21 percent share.<\/p>\n<p>Come again?<\/p>\n<p>NPD&#8217;s numbers are estimates based on customer surveys \u2014 so yes, if you wanted to question the figures, there&#8217;s certainly room to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Another important point: Even assuming Android handsets did manage to outsell the iPhone last quarter, Android still has a way to go before it can overtake the <strong>iPhone<\/strong> in terms of overall users. A recent ComScore survey found that as of February, the Phone had 25.4 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, versus 3.8 percent for <strong>Android<\/strong>. (RIM is way ahead of everyone else \u2014 at 40.8 percent, according to ComScore.)<\/p>\n<p>Still, NPD&#8217;s first-quarter numbers are eye-openers. Analyst Ross Rubin says &#8220;carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role&#8221; in market share. And indeed, while the iPhone continues to be a hit for AT&amp;T, you can now buy several different Android handsets from any of the big U.S. carriers, while Verizon Wireless has been giving Android phones like the Motorola Droid and the HTC Droid Eris the full-court press.<\/p>\n<p>The news bolsters the feeling that <strong>Google&#8217;s Android OS<\/strong> is on a roll right now, although I&#8217;m curious to see whether other wireless analysts fall in line with the NPD&#8217;s conclusions \u2014 as well as whether Android keeps its head of steam through the second quarter and beyond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 9px;\"><b>Resource<\/b>:<br \/>\nYahoo News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here&#8217;s a head-turner for you: The wireless analysts at NPD Group
