Android, the mobile operating system developed in large part by Google, has leapfrogged Apple’s iPhone OS in terms of U.S. market share.

Android, which is supported by multiple cellular  manufacturers and mobile carriers, has jumped from a 20% market share to a 28 percent market share (which it currently lays stake to) in only a few months time. The implementation of Android through each manufacturer’s product lines has helped Android to gain users, third party developer support, and establish itself as the most exciting smartphone OS to date.

Sprint’s current lineup of Android powered devices, the HTC Hero, Samsung Moment, and upcoming HTC EVO - the nation’s first 4G capable handset - has Sprint poised to offer the most diverse and complete Android offerings to their customers.
