Study: U.S. still BlackBerry country, but Android doubles share

,----[ Quote ]
| Android comprised only 5.2 percent of the 
| market in December 2009, but that was more 
| than double than its 2.5 percent share in 
| September, comScore says. This would make 
| the Linux-based Android OS the fastest 
| growing mobile OS during the period, and 
| the only other platform in the top five 
| aside from Apple to grow at all.

Google aims for cute with Super Bowl ad

,----[ Quote ]
| Buzz about Google's Super Bowl ad started 
| spreading when CEO Eric Schmidt implied in 
| a Twitter post that there would be one 
| during the third quarter. There had been 
| rumors--which turned out to be untrue--
| that Google's ad would feature the Nexus 
| One smartphone. As it turns out, the 
| "Parisian Love" ad has been on YouTube 
| since November 19 as part of Google's 
| "Search Stories" ad campaign--which had 
| been online-only until the Super Bowl. It 
| had chalked up over a million views on 
| YouTube.
