The research took 3 months and it included only buyers of smartphones, and most of them bought iPhone (over 44%), while smartphones with Android OS was bought only 25% of researchers. BUT... most of buyers (46%) already had smartphone with Android OS, which still makes Android the king. You can easily make conclusion that Apple with a smallest update of their iPhone 4S can make explosion on the market, and iOS will be the leader.

If we look specific market, like USA, in battle Android Vs iOS, Apple is definitely a leader and their position will not be at risk for some time. And in countries on Far East is making big progress, especially in China :).
