Android is the top OS and Apple is the top manufacturer in the U.S. smartphone market, according to Nielsen.

In June, Google's Android reached a 39% share of the U.S. consumer smartphone market with Apple iOS trailing at 28% and RIM Blackberry at 20%.

However, because Apple is the only company manufacturing smartphones with the iOS operating system, it is clearly the top smartphone manufacturer in the United States. Other leading manufacturers include HTC, whose Android phones represents 14 percent of the smartphone market and whose Windows Mobile/WP7 devices account for 6 percent of the market; and Motorola, whose Android devices are owned by 11 percent of smartphone consumers.
