Android has finally taken the lead in the US and has beaten iPhone in terms of new smartphone customers reach in the US. Macrumors covered this report by Nielsen which released data on smartphone usage in the U.S., revealing that Google’s Android platform has outpaced the iPhone among new smartphone customers for the first half of 2010. The news comes as a marked reversal from the second half of 2009, when the iPhone topped Android 34% to 6% market share among new smartphone customers.

While the iPhone has been the headline grabber over the last few years in the smartphone market, Google’s Android OS has shown the most significant expansion in market share among current subscribers. Android’s rise is even more noticeable among new smartphone subscribers in the last six months where Android has nosed past Apple’s iOS in the last quarter to grab a 27% share of those recent smartphone subscribers.

Scoop: Apple had another iPhone version incase iPhone HD was delayed

This insider news was offered by DigiTimes and covered by Macrumors yesterday. In an interesting Q&A with one of Apples research analysts, DigiTimes shared few undisclosed details about the development of the iPhone 4G which is expected to be introduced on 7th June at WWDC. Over to Macrumors:

One of the most interesting tidbits included in the report is a claim that Apple had a second next-generation iPhone under development that more closely resembles the iPhone 3GS, a phone which Apple has been keeping in reserve in case unforeseen difficulties with the more significantly redesigned versions seen floating around in prototypes forced Apple to fall back to manufacturing processes with which it is already familiar.

The leaked iPhone 4G had a tag that said “N90,” which is the internal development codename for the iPhone 4G, and very few people outside the company knew about it prior to the leak.

On a side note, Apple initiated the iPhone 4G project at the end of 2008. According to our sources, Apple actually has another product codenamed N91 for the project, which offers less change from previous iPhones compared with the N90. It’s a parallel product to back up the N90 in case there are major delays due to significant modifications in casing, display resolution, digital camera support and so forth.

In fact, it seems possible that there may even have been a third version of the next-generation iPhone floating around Apple’s labs, as details found in the iPhone SDK 3.2 back in February revealed a device, presumed to be an iPhone, carrying an “N89″ internal model number. The iPhone 3GS carries internal model number “N88″.

iphone toilet car inventions 250x146 Interesting: Britishers rank iPhone as 8th greatest invention   Ahead of flush toilet and carsThis is interesting – A study of 4,000 Brits placed the iPhone ahead of things like the car, camera and flushing toilet in the list of 100 most important inventions. Edible Apple dug this interesting article about 100 greatest inventions of all times.

While the wheel came top – followed by the aeroplane, the lightbulb and the worldwide web in fourth – the iPhone figured surprisingly high. In fact, the Steve Jobs special came in as the eighth most important invention in the world, just behind computers, the telephone and Penicillin.

“It’s amazing to see how much the iPhone is valued, sitting alongside inventions such as Penicillin in people’s perceptions and being declared a more important invention than miracle gadgets of their own time, such as the compass.”
