Apple gained an estimated 2.2 million users nationwide after the release of the iPhone 3GS in June in subsequent months, pushing it past devices using Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system for the first time, comScore reports. The survey of smartphone users ages 13 and up found Windows Mobile was the only OS to decline during the three months ending in October.
iPhone users reached almost nine million in October, comScore said, or a quarter of the 36 million Americans estimated to be using smartphones. That puts the iPhone in second place behind industry leader Research in Motion, the maker of BlackBerrys.
In the survey period, Windows Mobile gained less than half a million users compared to the surge in iPhone users, forfeiting the slight edge of 30,000 units it had in July. BlackBerry users totaled nearly 15 million users and Google’s Android platform, with just more than one million users, was third.
