According to Nordic research firm QAim Oy who has been tracking internet traffic usage for the better part of the last year, Android usage is gaining rapidly on iPhone and Symbian devices in marketshare, and is on track to be number 1 by August of 2011.
Between week 4 of this year and week 41, internet traffic to Nordic pages increased from being less than 1% to nearly 10%, and in just the past 14 weeks, Android has seen a growth of nearly 5%. If this pattern continues, Android will overtake iPhone in May and Symbian in August.
While these numbers are all regional, they do reflect the trend we keep hearing — Android is really coming into it’s own. And what’s REALLY impressive is that while iPhone took a chunk of Nordic traffic recently, Symbian has ALWAYS reigned supreme in that market, and has never even been threatened. Android taking that away from Symbian would indeed be a feat.
