The Android-versus-iPhone saga is likely to be ongoing for some time to come; however, every time we get a look at mobile OS stats, we see Android pulling ahead a little bit more.

While a recent list of the top 30 mobile devices shows that all iOS devices together still outnumber Android devices by a slim margin, when you only compare smartphones and put tablets and MP3 players aside, Android clearly has a larger share of that list.

Data gathered by mobile ad shop Millennial Media also shows iOS and Android devices tied for total number of impressions in November, each OS grabbing exactly 38% of the month’s mobile impressions.

However, when considering a breakdown of the top 30 mobile devices, including smartphones, feature phones, and connected, non-phone devices, a different picture emerges.

At first, when devices are broken into categories based on operating system alone, Apple has the advantage. But when you take iPads and iPod touch devices out of the picture and you only consider smartphones’ share of the market, Android devices seem to come out on top.
