Gartner's Q2 2010 numbers are in, and the chart above says it all. So do these. And these. And these, you get the point -- Android is showing unprecedented growth, all thanks to people like you and I who love the OS. Overall, the world's "mobile communication" market grew by 13.8 percent, but the competition (we love it!) drove the average price of a handset down (hey we love that too!). Notable news from Gartner's report:
- HTC debuts in the top 10 worldwide, with 139.1 percent Y-O-Y growth
- Apple's iPad did not affect smartphone sales as much as was predicted
- Android overtook iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) for the number 3 spot on the planet
- Android overtook RIM (BlackBerry) to become the number one selling mobile OS in the United States according to Gartner
