In February, iOS had 29.16% of the mobile operating market, compared to 28.52% in January. Android remains dominate with 70.15% of the market.

NetMarketShares’ monthly surveys don’t measure market share in terms of computer systems sold. Instead they sample data from visitors to some 40,000 web sites operated by their clients. And note that NetMarketShare’s numbers don’t equate to sales.
