There is no mistaking that the biggest story in the UK is Android’s amazing year on year growth, rushing to dominate the smartphone market share in the country, according to Kantar Worldpanel .
Looking past that headline however we see a good news story for Windows Phone also, struggling to be a relevant 3rd mobile ecosystem.
Comparing the figures between March and May 2011 we can see only Android and Windows Phone showed growth, while the likes of Symbian, Blackberry and even iPhone saw significant drops.
Hopefully this is a trend we will see continue as the year progresses, especially with a new wave of hardware coming in 3-4 months.
