That was down from 26.7 percent of smartphones sold in the fourth quarter of last year, which included the holiday shopping season, IDC found. Much of the slack was picked up by Research In Motion's BlackBerry, which took 35.1 percent of the market in the fourth quarter and then 44.5 percent in the first.
