Android, iOS and BB on States of America

Regular readers will be well aware of my penchant for infographics. Well Retrevo have been conducting a survey across the United States to guage customer uptake of iPhones, Blackberries and Android smartphones and the results are pretty interesting.

First of all I should explain the system used to present the results because it is not quite as straightforward as you would imagine. There are two categories used to analyse the results, the first, and simplest, being a simple count of which platform is most popular in which state and then assigning each platform a total number of states won.

The second, and more complicated, category is the Gadgetoral Votes. For this Retrevo calculated smartphone ownership per capita for the whole of the U.S. and then compared it with the per capita ownership for each individual state.
