The number of Android<\/a> devices has for the first time overtaken the number of Apple<\/a> iOS devices on Vodacom’s<\/a> network. This revelation comes from the latest Vodacom smartphone and tablet statistics.<\/p>\n

According to Vodacom’s statistics, BlackBerry<\/a> still dominates the smartphone market with 1,992,779 active devices on the network, followed by Android (296,978) and Apple iOS (291,616).<\/p>\n

Only two months ago Vodacom CEO Pieter Uys<\/a> revealed that they had 1.6 million active BlackBerry devices on their network, followed by 220,000 iPhones, and around 200,000 Android devices.<\/p>\n

The latest statistics therefore not only reveal the growing popularity of Android, but also the strong growth of smartphones and tablet PCs in South Africa.<\/p>\n

With the imminent launch of the Galaxy Nexus, which will ship with the latest Android OS called Ice Cream Sandwich, Android may strengthen its position further.<\/p>\n

The following graph gives a visual representation of mobile OS market share on the Vodacom network.<\/p>\n
