Android continues to gain ground:

Android seems ready to leapfrog competitors to grab dominance in China, the world’s largest mobile market. A combination of drastic price drops on Android phones and custom Chinese mobile apps supported by the massive domestic market is bound to push Android past the entrenched leaders, setting the tone for how the mobile internet is built and interacted with around the world.

Factoids:

- Number of Mobile Internet Users in China (start of 2010): 233 million

- Number of Mobile Internet Users in China (projected for 2014): 957 million

- Population of USA + EU (2010): roughly 800 million
