Tech: Android outsells iPhone in the U.S., but BlackBerry outsells them both

  • 33% of smartphone sales are made by BlackBerry maker RIM
  • 28% of smartphone sales are various phones that run on Google’s Android OS
  • 21% of smartphone sales are made by Apple; note the lack of Microsoft source
  • » Red herring?: Before we go gaga over these sales numbers, one thing to keep in mind is that Apple only sells one phone, whereas Research in Motion has a whole lineup of phones and Android is used by numerous companies. Business Insider sees a different (and also probably accurate) conclusion: Apple needs to get their phone on Verizon, like yesterday.
