Nielsen reports on market share for smartphones in the US, with an interesting split between domination for OS and domination by actual device. Google Android is currently the top operating system, at 39 percent, with Apple's iOS at 28 percent, and the RIM Blackberry at 20 percent.

All of this is based on June, 2011 data.
