Android Grows, But Lags Behind iPhone

Google’s Android smartphone OS has been growing at a rather impressive rate in recent months. According to an AdMob report that examined mobile metrics from March 2009, Android traffic in the U.S. grew at an average rate of 47 percent per month. Still, despite the solid growth, Android substantially trails the iPhone, which has grown at a staggering rate of 88 percent per month in the five months following the launch of the App Store.
