not an Apple fan, but I really don't see this NPD report meaning much. First it's a survey and you can drastically change the outcome of any survey results by targeting geographic areas, age groups, etc. And it doesn't really jive with the hard sales data published by IDC and many others.
Also if AT&T accounted for 32% of the smartphone market in the US and Verizon 30% of the market and Blackberry was the number 1 seller in the US brand wise, but the iPhone outsold everything else at AT&T it would seem that the bulk of the Android and Blackberry sales are coming from Verizon and the buy 1 get 1 free deals, or even buy 1 get 2 free on Blackberry phones at times. It is easy to get marketshare by giving away a free phone or two for everyone you actually sell.
It makes perfect sense. They are Saying Android, which is an OS not a phone is not even coming close to Apples OS.
The smartphone marketshare breakdown really does not mean as much on a OS basis as everyone wants it to. Apple basically makes one phone on one carrier. Find another single smartphone that sells even half the number of phones that the iPhone does. If you do it will definitely not be an Android phone.
Personally if it takes over a dozen phones built by almost every long time cellular maker, and available on every single carrier, 2 years to build up the customer base of one single phone made by someone new to the cellular market, I wouldn't really be touting that as a great success.
