Motorola's Influence Wanes as Android's Share Strengthens

Google's Android OS continues to dominate the U.S. smartphone market, but Motorola's influence as an Android customer has decreased, according to a Monday study.

Overall, Android has a commanding share of the market: sales rose to 52 percent of all units sold during the second quarter, according to NPD. Apple's iPhone achieved a "slight quarterly gain" to 29 percent, placing it well behind Android, the firm found.
