Both Android and Samsung remain the dominant forces in the US smartphone market according to the latest numbers from comScore's MobiLens report.
Continuing the theme of recent months, Google's platform now accounts for a third of all handsets across the country, with Android extending its lead over both BlackBerry and iOS.
Same old story
Hitting 33 percent, comScore's numbers for February 2011 put Android's share up 7 percentage points from November 2010, with its nearest rival RIM continuing to lose significant share report after report, down 4.6 percentage points to 28.9 percent.
That stands in contrast to the most recent report by Millennial, which for the first time in many months suggested RIM had managed to halt its decline in February, actually expanding its share as BlackBerry handsets accounted for six of the top 30 handsets across the month.
The two reports also differ when it comes to iOS.
Millennial previously indicated that Apple's share had slipped of late, though comScore shows the firm holding strong, up 0.2 percentage points to 25.2 percent.
Salient Samsung
It's no coincidence that Android's continued ascent comes at the same time as the position of one of its most powerful exponents, Samsung, as the top handset manufacturer
As has been the case for many a month now, the Korean firm holds just shy of a quarter of the market based on February's figures, on 24.8 percent.
Interestingly, the only other manufacturer to expand its share is Apple, with comScore reporting that it now accounts for 7.5 percent of all smartphone subscribers up 0.9 percentage points from November.
