Android & Apple Grow, and Intel Drops McAfee Name

Android continues to grow at a brisk pace….thenextweb.com reports that the mobile system will be on over a billion active devices by the end of the year. 75% of users expected in emerging markets.

Meanwhile, don’t feel bad for Apple…according to a Kantner market share report picked up by zdnet.com, the iPhone’s market share has increased the last 3 months on the strength of overseas markets like China and Japan. iPhone share is down from 53% to 43% the last year in the US, however.

With all the antics the past year by John McAfee, this isn’t too surprising, but Intel announced yesterday at CES that the name will be dropped in favor of Intel Security. CNET.com says they’ll keep the iconic red shield, though.
