Nielsen, a media firm, has released research numbers that show Apple’s iPhone has increased it’s lead over Research in Motion, and still ahead of Google’s Android mobile platform. That said, these numbers are from November, which apparently is the most recent data they could get a hold of.
This chart shows that iOS is at 28.6%, Blackberry is sliding to 26.4%, and Android is working it’s way up at 25.8%.
