As has been the case for the majority of the last year, the growth of Google's OS which saw its share of the pie rise by 7.7 percent between October and January is being driven by Samsung's success, itself now far and away the top dog when it comes to mobile manufacturers.
Surging Samsung
Of the 234 million Americans who own a mobile according to comScore's numbers, almost one quarter of them have plumped for one of Samsung's handsets.
Indeed, aside from Apple which continues to ride the iPhone wave the Korean firm is the one manufacturer enjoying growth month after month.
Over the course of the last year, Samsung's share has risen by 4 percent enough to push it ahead of former market leader Motorola, which has lost 6.4 percent share in the same period, and LG, which is holding fairly steady at around the 21 percent mark.
All aboard Android
Motorola's fall from grace doesn't compare to BlackBerry's demise, however.
At the start of 2010, RIM held 43 percent of the smartphone market a share that was on the rise. Fast forward to January this year, and BlackBerry's share of the 65.8 million smartphone subscribers has fallen by 12.6 percent, dropping by 5.4 percent in the last few months alone.
BlackBerry's loss is Android's gain, however, with Google's OS jumping by more than 21 percent year on year.
