The NPD have released some market share numbers for smartphones in the USA, and confirmed as usual strong sales of Android, which is now 52% of the market, and the collapse of sales of RIM’s Blackberries, now 11% of the market, down from 16% 3 months earlier.
Of interest to Windows Phone 7 owners is that the NPD has confirmed numbers released recently by Kantar Wordpanel, who claimed Windows Phone 7 had 2.1% of US smartphone market.
According to Ross Rubin from the NPD Windows Phone 7 hand 2% market share in Q2 2011, about the same as Q1 2011 and certainly not the collapse we which Gartner suggested recently.
In essence Windows Phone 7 had been in somewhat of a holding pattern, with steady but not spectacular sales, something we hope the release of new devices will help address very soon.
