A research company found that Android handset users began to rise in the next three months. In fact, about four percent of all smartphone users, detected using Android.

Quoted from RWW, these findings indicate an increase approximately twice bigger since the last survey in September 2009, issued by the same research company, ChangeWave Research.

In the survey, ChangeWave also found approximately 21 percent of respondents admitted planning to buy Android-based devices within the next 90 days. Though the September release, only approximately 6 percent of respondents who intend to buy Android.
Currently, Android itself competing with Palm. In the September survey, Palm OS position as the number one desired. While the survey in December, Android shifted Palm.

Android dominates this survey because the price of the iPhone is considered expensive. Even the desire to have an iPhone device, according to ChangeWave, began to fall from 32 percent to only 28 percent of respondents only. However, Apple’s market share continues to increase even though only one point to 31 percent. While Blackberry have 39 percent marketshare, and Palm declined to 6 percent.

Although the data can make Google smiling, the fact isn’t like that. Since sales began to be opened independently by Google on January 5, Android smartphones sold only 20,000 units. Very much different from what the iPhone 3GS has experienced and sold approximately 1.6 million in the first week of its appearance.

However, this estimation does not apply to the Google Nexus One that is considered failed. Android glory still be visible with the help of other vendors who carried it, such as HTC and Motorola.

At ChangeWave Research, Motorola is known to have a market share increase to 12 percent. Similarly with HTC that its market share rose from 5 percent to 9 percent.
