In case you were unsure of Android’s pwnage over every other smartphone OS, well known analyst Gartner is back at it again, releasing smartphone sales figures from Q1 of 2011; and as you can see above, the truth is in the numbers. Android is rocking it with a 36% market share lead — a huge jump from the 9.6% market share they held same time last year — followed by Symbian at 27.4%, iOS at 16.8% and finally, BlackBerry OS at 12.9%.

Gartner went on to say that Android is positioned for even more explosive growth, as manufacturers release more and more mid-range devices using the booming OS — a market which was once dominated by Nokia’s Symbian OS.

No matter how you put it, the Android OS keeps exceeding analyst projections, and is no doubt in a fantastic position to take reign as the number one smartphone OS in the world.
