Nielsen: Android smartphone purchases now top iOS 2-to-1

September 27, 2011 — 8:43am ET |

More than half of all U.S. mobile subscribers who purchased a smartphone within the past three months selected a device running Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android operating system according to new data issued by Nielsen.

Android-powered devices accounted for 56 percent of all U.S. smartphone sales during the previous three months and now make up 43 percent of total nationwide smartphone market share, Nielsen states. Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS remains in second place with 28 percent U.S. market share–iOS devices also accounted for 28 percent of all smartphones purchased by American consumers during the last three months. Nielsen adds that iOS could experience a spike in the months ahead with its iPhone 5 expected to launch sometime during the next several weeks–iOS sales increase with each new device iteration or carrier partnership.

Fifty-six percent of all U.S. subscribers who purchased a new phone during the last three months selected a smartphone over a feature phone, Nielsen reports. Research In Motion’s (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry still makes up 18 percent of total U.S. smartphone market share, but only 9 percent of consumers purchased a BlackBerry device during the last three months. Rival operating systems make up 11 percent of the combined U.S. market and 6 percent of recent sales.

Income is a “MIND SET” you must first ask yourself this question… “Do I want to trade my time for money OR Do I want an income that keeps coming in on a regular basis from the work I did once?”

More than 90% of the people around the world are accustomed making “Linear Income” trading their time for money.  Linear Income is what some call Work Income; you receive a paycheck in trade for your physical time & labor.  When you stop working the income stops coming in, because of that reason most people are not financially independent.

Residual Income or Passive Income is very different.  It is the most powerful and profitable source of income, you do the work once and get paid on that work over and over again.  About now you are thinking “THIS IS THE INCOME I WANT!” … so how is this Residual / Passive Income is made.

A good example is Elvis Presley … during his lifetime he made movies and recorded songs ONCE… his estate continues to be paid a “Royalty Income” on that work.  That Royalty or Residual Income is what makes life long fortunes.  It’s not a “get rich quick” type of income; it takes consistent effort, strong determination and time for wealth to grow.

Jim Rohn said: “Work full-time in your job and part-time on your fortune”

Watch this excellent video that can help put this concept in prospective, if you see the value of leveraging your time to generate a residual income then we need to talk.  Once you understand this concept you will be prepared to find a passionate source of residual income that fits you.
