The main reason is that until the iPhone most Smart Phone users received their phones via their employer. Most employers used Blackberry (RIM) or Windows Mobile because it plays nice with Exchange.

I think its part of a strategy to knock out the new handhelds from Sony and Nintendo (actually I don't, but crazy conspiracy theories are fun)

Amazing the difference five years makes. You know Apple pulls out a little more of their hair every quarter when the new numbers are released...
Now if only I can get my company to stop buying these flippin' RIM phones and start getting Androids!

I don't know how much market share matters. If you count RIM, which I don't, Apple never had a majority of the market share. The difference I see in the apps is how much iOS users spend on Apps vs Android. I have an Android phone, but I've bought way more apps for my iPad. Apps are getting better for Android, but if I were to release an app today with the purpose of making money and could only release it on one platform, it would be on the iOS.
Also, I wish we could see how many of those Android phones are the piece of crap low end can't-do-crap models.

Android is a superior platform due to the fact that it just works. I do not need a $500 (well my galaxy S did cost £499) phone to let me talk to my friends. Heck my first iPhone cost $300 and I got two and sold them for £1000 each while I was away on holiday. Not because it was a ooh ahh phone, just so I can have a free holiday. I had a XDA that did all of that and played Mame. No Android has a large market share due to build quality. Everywhere I look I see Sammy phones. They rock and will continue to snub Apple and gain ground. My good mate is an Apple Fanboi. He just bought a Galaxy 2 as his 3GS started playing up. His first comment: Wow!
It is also nice to see that I am always right too. ;D
