Canalys originally attributed the popularity to the HTC EVO, Droid X, and other high-end Android devices that ate away at RIM's stronghold in t</em><em>he smartphone wars. This time around, much of the credit goes to a prevalence of 4G devices."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//adt/auto/1304611344.usr283.png" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>It seems that 4G is a hit in the U.S., which is translating into higher market share for Android devices sporting the newer technology. The only question that remains is whether a 4G iPhone will eat into that market share or if being the first to market will help Android to stay on top.</p>
