five cell phones sold here, two of them are either LG or Samsung, highlighting the importance that the budget phone still plays in the cell phone market.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at market research provided by NPD last week, the figures show the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Samsung leads with 23 per cent of the US cell phone market share<\/li>\n<li>Next comes LG with 18 per cent<\/li>\n<li>In third place is Apple, ranking at 14 per cent; a figure helped by the launch of the iPhone 4 by Verizon Wireless<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>NPD \u2018s research also shows that, for the first time ever, over one half of the cell phones purchased in the USA are classified as smartphones.&nbsp; In addition, although phones running the Android OS have slipped somewhat in the rankings, Google\u2019s Android still makes up half of all of the smartphones sold in the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>So what does all of this mean?&nbsp; Well, for one, it highlights the important role budget and mid-range cell phones play in the US market.&nbsp; For another, it indicates that, as a nation, we are beginning to embrace the smartphone.&nbsp; It also shows the power of Verizon Wireless as a preferred cell phone service carrier.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how the upcoming release of the iPhone 4 in white affects the numbers, as well as what happens if the iPhone 5 is released in the autumn as is anticipated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first quarter of 2011, figures relating to cell phone sales in the USA show that out of every five cell phones sold here, two
