Android No. 1 For Another Month The prevailing mobile storyline of 2011 has been Androids dominance. This dominance continued based on data pulled from over 83 million users on the Jumptap network. June 2011 data shows Android as the leading platform again this month, with 38% of the market. iOS comes in at second with 33% market share and Blackberry OS comes in third with 22%. The top three mobile operating systems control over 90% of the market, making it increasingly difficult for competing platforms to gain traction.

The smartphone market remains a highly competitive and volatile one, where each percentage of market share is hard-earned.

Mobile Operating System Click-Through Rates for H1 2011


iOS dominates CTR Another common theme of 2011 that continues this month is the lower interaction rates on Android as compared to the general mobile click-through average. Additionally, we have seen iOS CTRs consistently outperform industry averages.
