The global smart phone business still appears to be a two horse race. In fact, the rate of iOS and Android device adoption has surpassed that of any consumer technology in history, according to Flurry.
In fact, smart device adoption is an order of magnitude faster than that of the 1980s PC rate of adoption, twice as fast as the 1990s Internet access adoption and three times faster than social network adoption.
Overall, Flurry estimates that there were over 640 million iOS and Android devices in use during the month of July 2012.
