Our friends at Gartner have just released their smartphone sales report for the third quarter of 2011. Android was an absolute stud this quarter, remaining the far and away leader gobbling up 52% of the global market share. Considering they held just 25% the same quarter a year ago, I'd say that's pretty good upswing. Strangely enough, Symbian was in second place with 16%, though their margin over iOS wasn't all that staggering. Apple grabbed 15% there.
