New figures from Kantar Worldpanel have revealed a stunning slide in
Apple's market share of the smartphone market with European consumers in
particular showing a sharp swing in preferences from the iPhone to
Android-based devices.

The figures paint a grim picture for Apple with Android climbing from
10.7 per cent market share in the UK from June 2010 to nearly half of
the market, 45.2 per cent, in June of 2011. iOS slide from 30.6 per cent
down to 18.3 per cent. Kantar Worldpanel figures paint a similar picture
for Germany and France while the iPhone fared better in Italy.

The situation in the giant American market is better for the iPhone in
some respects. iOS share of smartphones climbed from 21.1 per cent to
28.7 per cent throughout the year. However BlackBerry marker RIM and
Nokia's aging Symbian platform all be exited the market, leaving Android
to gobble up an astonishing 57 per cent of the North American market.
