ComScore: Android STILL climbing in the US -- June 2011

Yeah, I'll believe all those folks who claim Android users are going to flock to Apple's iPhone or WP7...never.  Case in point: ComScore's June 2011 3-month average US subscribers:

I am not seeing any effects of Microsoft or Oracle lawsuits...come to think of it, the average American couldn't care less about lawsuits...all they care about, is whether the phone they're buying is cool and can do the stuff they want it to do.

But just in case, Google's decided to hire an FTC employee whose specialty is patents and antitrust.

As for any analyst who uses a 216 person sample to make bold statements about how nearly half of Android users are going to buy the iPhone5...that's a bunch of hooey.  Said analyst whose predictions are proven wrong, should be forced to give up half their salary, I think.
