For the three months ended in February, Apple had 38.9 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, up from 35 percent for the same period ending in November. Android fell to 51.7 percent over the same period, down from 53.7 percent.
The United States is not the world, but it is a leading market for smartphones. So, it's worth paying attention to these trends.
Apple has been able to eat into Android's lead thanks to increased distribution and lowered pricing. The iPhone wasn't available from Verizon until February 2011, four years after it debuted on AT&T. It later joined Sprint, then some regional carriers, and this year it's going to T-Mobile.
Apple offers the iPhone at a variety of prices on Verizon and AT&T, from $0 to over $400. A free-on-contract iPhone has made it an option for more people.
Android is a great operating system available on a number of excellent phones, some with gigantic screens. It's odd that it's gone flat. It's not just a U.S. phenomenon for Android, either.

BlackBerry was up 15% on Feb 4th after it got a ringing endorsement from Bernstein Research. Bernstein slapped a $22 price target on the stock based mostly on the notion that investors don't fully appreciate how big the BlackBerry 10 launch will be.
The 15% jump is the just the latest in a series of big days for BlackBerry which was trading close to $6 at its lowest point recently.
But before people get too excited about Bernstein's note, or BlackBerry in general, take a look at this chart of Palm when it tried to resurrect its fortunes.
Call it a "Pre"cedent as we say in french. BB aware !

Domestic SmartPhone OSes require either a domestic hardware champion, or a domestic platform champion capable of Open Sourcing and deploying at massive scale in what is now a totally crowded space.
Amazing to see how fast both Symbian and BlackBerry disappeared...
