Android OS hit a record 81 percent of the 251 million smartphones shipped in Q3 of 2013 beating Apple, BlackBerry and Windows.
However, Microsoft’s Windows Phone is growing steadily with 10 million smartphones shipped during the period doubling its marketshare and making it the world’s fastest growing major smartphone platform.
Microsoft made history with its over 10 million units in a single quarter.
According to Linda Sui, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics, global smartphone shipments which hit 251.4 million, grew 45 percent this year compared from 172.8 million units in Q3 2012. There was robust demand for Android and Microsoft OS units especially in Europe and Asia.
However, Android’s lead hit a new peak according to Scott Bicheno, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics. In Q3 2013 4 out of every 5 smartphones were Android while BlackBerry’s unit dropped from 4 percent to 1 percent while Microsoft doubled from 2 percent to 4 percent. Apple’s promise on price cut could help it gain marketshare as it has limited presence at the lower market segment.
Neil Mawston, Executive Director at Strategy Analytics said Microsoft grew its smartphone shipments by 178 percent annually in Q3 2013 and it is currently the world’s fastest growing major smartphone platform. This is almost entirely due to Nokia’s Lumia portfolio.

Google Inc launched a music service on Wednesday that
allows users to listen to unlimited songs for $9.99 a month, challenging
smaller companies like Pandora and Spotify in the market for streaming
music.
With its new service, announced at its annual developers’ conference in San Francisco, Google has adopted the streaming music business model ahead of rival Apple Inc, which pioneered online music purchases with iTunes.
Google’s “All Access” service lets users customize song selections from 22 genres, ranging from Jazz to Indie music, stream individual playlists, or listen to a curated, radio-like stream that can be tweaked. It will be launched for U.S. users first, before being rolled out to several other countries.
Google unveiled a string of improvements to other services, including new mapping features and a voice-activated search, at the conference. The focus was on giving more options to users of mobile devices using its Android software, the operating system that now runs three out of every four smartphones sold.

Mobile phone giant BlackBerry has announced plans to make its instant messaging service available to those with iPhones or Androids.
BlackBerry Messenger, better known as BBM, was
previously only able to be used by those with BlackBerry handsets, but
will be working on other smartphones by the summer.
The
facility, which allows users to send free real-time messages to any of
their contacts via a pin code, has more than 60 million monthly active
customers, according to BlackBerry.
More than 51
million people use BBM for an average of 90 minutes per day, it said,
while BBM users collectively send and receive more than 10 billion
messages each day, nearly twice as many messages per user per day than
other mobile messaging apps.
If approved by Apple and Google, BBM will be available as a free download in the Apple App Store and Google Play store.
