So as you might have read I was up on business travelling on the London Underground.

Something I don’t miss living now I’m living on rural Dartmoor.

It’s been nearly two years since my last trip and back then iPhones ruled.

So what brands were people using now? Was the tube full of Nokia Lumia 1020’s? Or maybe a Sony or HTC? Let’s be optimistic. Maybe a Huawei. Or long shot a BlackBerry?

I’m afraid not. It was a 3 horse race only. Yes 3. So we can guess Apple and Samsung were fighting it out for top spot. And they really were. I think Apple just won with more Apple devices but only just. Samsung phones were everywhere. So what was the third brand? Amazon. Amazon Kindle readers and Kindle Fire’s.

So with Amazon starting it’s foray into smartphones very soon, just watch this space get invaded by them.
