Report said iPhone wins 51 percent of U S smartphone sales
Apple snared more than 50 percent of U.S. smartphone sales last quarter, says Kantar, though Android remained dominant across Europe and the world.
Apple at least takes the market of United States, from data released by Kantar World panel Com tech. In the end of the year 2012 it was told that, iPhone takes 51.3% of smartphone sales in United States. Android is less behind in smartphone sales in United States with percentage of 44.8.
Apple also take the market in Japan smartphone. Specially iPhone5 most raise the Apple market and also the previous device that attract the customers to new one. Kantar analyst Mary-Ann Parlato said in a statement, "Apples continual improvement is thanks to both the iPhone 5 and older models attracting various customer groups, from repeat Apple buyers, first-time smartphone buyers. and those coming from other smartphone brands,"
According to Kantar, over the past year the percentage of Android users jumping ship to the iPhone was 19 percent in 2012, compared with 9 percent in 2011. Verizon subscribers were especially eager to hop onto iOS. A full 59 percent of iPhone-buying Verizon customers came from other brand phones, while 30 percent had used Android specifically. In comparison, 15 percent of AT&T users who bought an iPhone jumped from a different platform, while only 6 percent were former Android users. Kantar also said that In apple users 35 percent of users get new device while 30 percent buy their first smartphone.
Android takes the no 1 place in some countries like U.K, China, Spain, Australia and Germany. Kantar analyst Dominic Sunnebo said in a statement, "At the end of 2012, the global OS picture shows Android on top, but clearly the rate of growth it experienced over the past year is beginning to slow as easy wins from first-time smartphone buyers begin to reduce,"
Finally, Microsofts Windows Phone is gaining some traction in Europe. For the quarter, Windows Phone won 5.9 percent of smartphone sales in Britain, up from 2.2 percent a year ago, and 13.9 percent in Italy, up from 2.8 percent the prior year.
"It has been far slower than Microsoft would have liked, but Windows Phone is now starting to gain respectable shares in a number of key European countries," Sunnebo said. "However, its performance in the Chinese and U.S. markets remains underwhelming. As the two largest smartphone markets in the world, these remain key challenges for Microsoft to overcome during 2013."
The data comes from Kantar World panel Com Tech USAs consumer panel, which conducts more than 250,000 interviews per year in the United States. This report focused strictly on sales rather than market share.
Sony Xperia S to get De Facto Nexus Status
Jean-Baptiste Queru, Googles top Android Open-Source Tech Dude (well, actually Technical Lead of Googles Android Open Source Project) announced on Google Groups that the Sony Xperia S will be getting updates directly from Google.

Quere said "For a new challenge, Id like to try to go one step further, and to target some hardware beyond the usual categories. Ive added a git project for the Sony LT26, i.e. Xperia S. This seems like a good target: its a powerful current GSM device, with an unlockable bootloader, from a manufacturer that has always been very friendly to AOSP."
The Sony Xperia S was an interesting device. It had a 4.3-inch 720p display in a market of Android flagship phones with larger 4.7 to 4.8-inch 720p displays. The only spoiler in the package, is that while its competitors came with new for 2012 chipsets, the Nvidia Tegra 3, Qualcomm S4 and Samsung Exynos Quad, the Xperia S came with a dual core Qualcomm S3 which we first saw in the HTC Sensation back in the first half of 2011. All-in-all, the Xperia S is like a sleek car with a mediocre engine under the hood. Still, Sony did a good job with the Qualcomm S3, squeezing out more performance from the chipset than any other OEM ever did.
All of a sudden, the Sony Xperia S looks a lot more interesting. Priced substantially lower than its competitors, being a "mid-sized" offering and now with updates direct from Googles AOSP team. Even more interesting, it looks like the Xperia S will become the platform for a Google Skunkworks project for the creation of the next iteration of Android.
"Contributions are strongly encouraged, and there should be more freedom than usual to submit experimental changes since that wont impact the devices that Google is most directly involved in," Quere said.
So, the somewhat boring Sony Xperia S, might now become transformed as the home of the latest cutting edge Android code.
