According to the report from IDC Australia, Android smartphone usage in Australia has increased massively in the third quarter of this year.

Android-powered smartphones also saw very strong growth in Q3, collectively accounting for 21% of the smartphone market, up from 7.1% in Q2 and only 2.1% in Q1.

If that math is a little hard to work out this late in the evening, Android grew by a whopping 13.9% in a single quarter making it the third most used OS in the country, trailing iOS and Symbian in top spot. The IDC expects to see Android ahead of the market by this time next year, cheers to that!
