Microsoft's Windows Phone overtakes BlackBerry, but Android dominates

[veritech]

Microsoft's Windows Phone has overtaken Blackberry in the smartphone OS stakes for the first time. However, the smart device market still remains a two-horse race between Google's Android and Apple's iOS, with Google continuing to outpace its rival by a significant margin.

Windows Phone has taken the number three spot in the smartphone market with a 3.3 percent market share for the second quarter of 2013, compared to the 2.7 percent held by BlackBerry, which recently said it was considering options for the future of the business, including selling it off. In the second quarter of 2012, BlackBerry's market share stood at 5.2 percent while Windows Phone's was 2.6 percent.

But despite this minor excitement, the smartphone market is really dominated Android, with Apple's iOS a considerably smaller second place.
