With Android accounting for the majority of smartphones worldwide at the moment, it's finally also starting to become the most dominant player in apps, too.
Figures out today from analytics firm Xyologic note that Android now accounts for the majority of downloads in the UK, Germany and Russia, and predicts that the U.S. will be the next to go Google in either March or April. This is a sea change from months past, when Apple -- the early mover in apps -- has always dominated in app download activity, despite the fact that it has been trailing other platforms in terms of users.
