With similar fashion, Android has also made its incredible presence in the market and reached to zenith in mobile OS. A research analysis firm has reported that Android made its supremacy in the mobile OS with 47% market share in October/November 2011 followed by Apple iOS’s with 43%. However, the market share of Android had declined by 13% from 60% in Q3 2011, while Apple’s iOS outstandingly increased by 17% from 26% in Q3 2011.

Apple performed outstandingly in Oct/Nov 2011 and managed to grasp a position in top three.
