A common question I always get asked is about which smartphone would I recommend - Google Android, Apple iOS, Windows, BlackBerry?

While there are many factors that can decide which phone is best for you a lot of people seem to want to know which is #1. When I think of smartphones I think in terms of the operating system (Google Android, Apple iOS, Windows, Blackberry) and not the manufacturer of the hardware (Apple, Samsung, LG, HTC, etc.) . Despite what people might think, it's not Apple iOS, but Google's Android by a great margin. Recent numbers show that Android now has over 80% of the worldwide market share.

If you want to see a breakdown market share in different countries I just discovered a great interactive website (Kantar World Panel) that breaks it all down. Unfortunately Canada isn't one of the countries but from past experience our numbers are usually very close to the US. At a quick glance you can see the trend:
1. Google Android
2. Apple iOS
3. Windows
4. Other and BlackBerry
