In the smartphone arena, Android has taken a 56.1 per cent share of the market, blowing Apple's 22.9 per cent share out of the water.

Now Google just needs to make Androids not fugly, smoother, and better quality apps and more apps that are still only on iOS

I love my Galaxy Nexus but Android has no quality control

Google are assuming direct control of the market.

I'm glad their doing so well, google is finally stepping up with the next nexus' devices. More than one manufacture making stock plain old android UI, we would actually get to choose!

Hopefully at least one manufacture makes something that was as amazing as the Nexus one was back in the day. I still remember the day I played around with it, I had a samsung innov8 at the time and the nexus just made me poop bricks.

Apps have nothing to do with google. It comes down to the app developers. And there are plenty of quality apps out there.

I certainly hope they have at least 1/2 the market, or they are doing something very very wrong.

Smartphones are the future, Noone knows about WP7/ hardly any apps for it, Iphones are marketed for certain people/markets, and apple only has one phone. There are 100's of android phones.

What are you talking about?

Go say that at XDA and see what happens

If anything they should ban bloatware.
