However, its <b><a href="http://ittouchit.blogspot.com/search/label/MOBILE" target="_blank">smartphone</a> </b>market share dropped to 12.3 percent from 13.4 percent. Woody Oh, Director at Strategy Analytics, said the dip was due to the <b>operating system's</b> limited presence at the lower end of the <b><a href="http://ittouchit.blogspot.com/search/label/MOBILE" target="_blank">smartphone</a></b> market.</span></div>
