Smartphone Ownership in United States- Who wins the Gadget Census 2010?
Just a few months back, an online gadget census was conducted by Retrovo in which the votes were calculated on the basis of the per capita Smartphone ownership across the United States. Retrovo’s 2010 Gadget Census focused on finding the information about what gadgets people use and how many smartphones per capital are present in each state of the country. Three major gadgets were taken for the study, which included Android, iPhone and Blackberry.
Here are the figures that came out as a result of Gadget census 2010:
21 states use Android with a total of 122 gadgetoral votes, while Blackberry takes a leap with 198 votes in similar number of states. When it comes to votes, iPhone tops it all with 218 numbers in 16 states. California, Massachusetts and Florida are truly iPhone states. On the other hand, people across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Hawaii and Montana love to have the Android phone. Blackberry remains popular in several states including New York, Texas, Virginia and Illinois.
“When all the hanging chads are accounted for and votes have all been tabulated, the iPhone edges out the BlackBerry for gadgetoral votes 218 to 198. Android comes in third with 122 votes but grabs the most number of states with 21 compared to iPhone and BlackBerry who are tied at 15 states apiece.
*Keep in mind, gadgetoral votes take into account how the number of smartphones per capita, per state and might differ from the “popular vote” or total number of each Smartphone in the country which you might find in some Smartphone market reports.”
So, iPhone remains the clear winner and tops others as the “Top Mobile Gadget of the Year 2010”. Blackberry and Android follow the race, but could not manage to leap up in spite of their usage in large number of states.
