Apple was unable, however, to top the consortium of vendors known as the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) that has embraced Google's Android operating system. In aggregate, the OHA rang up sales of 9.1 million units, or a 43.6% share, during the quarter.

On a global scale, Nokia topped the list of smartphone vendors with 33% of the market, while Apple grabbed 17% and Research in Motion 15%.
