Everybody’s favorite consumer-stats-collecting organization The Nielsen Company has gathered some very interesting data about the most popular mobile operating systems by analyzing how many handsets (of each OS) people bought in the last six months.
Make FaceTime-like Video Calls from iPhone 4 to Android, Symbian, Windows 7, Mac OS X and Vice Versa

After Apple relaxed its App Store restrictions, the first of apps that benefitted from this were Google Voice clients (like GV Connect and GV Mobile+) and just now, a BitTorrent-based torrent managing app called IS Drive has been approved for the App Store.
