Other research institutions were present more or less the same calculation as the one by Canalys, NPD also named Android gets 44 percent the proportion of smart phone sales in the U.S. for Q3 2010. This number jumped 11 percent than the second quarter of 2010. NPD also put iOS Apple in second place with 23 percent. While RIM slumped in the third position with a percentage of 22 percent.
