The new OS was released during the third week of October 2010 in Australia, Asia, and Europe. Then, it went on sales during the first week of November 2010 in America.
Bing’s rival Google captured more users in America’s smartphone market share by the end of April 2011. The giant search company’s mobile operating system Android continues to hold number one spot as it captured 36.4% share of smartphone subscribers in America (an increase of 5.2% share from the three-month period before the start of February 2011).
