Some people love their iPhones. Apple claims that on the first weekend of iPhone 5s and 5c sales, the company sold 9-million phones. That's nice, but it wasn't enough. According to IDC, Android phones reached a new milestone during the third quarter of 2013: 81 percent of all smartphone shipped. With a total of 211.6-million Android-powered smartphones shipped during the quarter, Android topped the 80 percent market-share mark for the first time in its short history.
