Research firm Canalys has said Google's Android operating system has taken almost 50% of the global smartphone market, dominating in the Asia-Pacific region, Reuters has reported. Android, which Google acquired in 2005 and launched on phones in 2008, is used by almost all the major phone makers including HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung. By comparison, Apple, which shipped 20.3 million iPhones, is a distant second with a market share of 19% but it overtook ailing Finnish handset maker Nokia as the world's largest individual smartphone vendor, Canalys said.
