Tej Kohli came across survey which revealed some surprising things. If a recent study is to be believed, women are more likely to purchase an iPhone as their next smartphone, while men are more inclined to Android devices. Read this amazing piece of news at Tej Kohli Blog.
According to the data collected in October 2010, about 31 percent ladies said they would want to buy an Apple iOS device next, followed by 22.8 percent women who are interested in purchasing a Google Android Device. On the other hand, 32.6 percent of the men were more keen to buy an Android phone, while 28.6 percent longed for an iOS gadget.
As far as the market share is concerned, iPhones and Blackberrys are in a statistical dead heat with each claiming more than 27 percent of the smartphone OS pie. Android phones followed closely with 22 percent and Microsoft windows mobile with 14 percent. Symbian, Linux and Palm systems has a less than 8 percent of collective share.
But looking at the future, perhaps the strongest indicator is the classification of 'next desired smartphone purchase'. Most people votes for Android and iOS with 35 percent and 28 percent of the people checking those options. Merely 13 percent wanted their next smartphone to be RIM Blackberry, followed by windows mobile with 6 percent of the overall votes.
The most preferred choice in every age range, except 35 to 54 years old was Apple iOS. This aforesaid age group more people preferred upgrading to Android over iOS.
The survey also found out that 29.7 percent of the American cell phone users own a smartphone now. This is the highest recorded figure until now.
Two other different surveys conducted earlier this month said Android was installed in approximately 44 percent of the smartphones used in the US, followed by Apple and RIM. Another claimed Android was the fastest-growing OS in the smartphone market.
