That's the iPhone percentage of smartphone sold in the US at the three carriers where the iPhone is available. That's up from 36% the year before. Jay Yarow over at Business Insider takes a very pessimistic view of Android's future in his piece posted today.

I'm more inclined to agree with MG Siegler's view of Android's future. I think there's a place for it in the near and mid term, but it's long term prospects may not be very good. If Microsoft can start to get it's operating system onto a greater installed base of phones, I could see it taking over in the anything-but-Apple market.

I have to wonder about Google's interest in the continued development of Andoid if market share continues to slide and they continue to make more money off iOS devices than they do their own.
