Today AT&T announced their revenue for Q2 2011. AT&T announced that their revenue is up 2.2 percent from last year making them .5 billion. They also gained a total of 1.1 million subscribers which adds to the total of 98.6 million subscribers. And 5.6 million smartphones were activated on the network which is up as well. Over half of those smartphones are iPhones which is good since AT&T is still selling them even after Verizon started. AT&T also has something new and that's a new phone from Google. So starting on the 24th of July which is this Sunday AT&T will be getting their own Nexus S for a pretty nice 0 on a two year contract. It will be available at Best Buy too. Now the only top US carrier that doesn't have a Nexus S is Verizon. So I wonder if Google will launch a Nexus S for Verizon anytime soon. And we'll have to see about the Nexus S successor after that. Last year the iPad was pretty much the only major tablet on the market. But now things have changed. Apple lost quite a bit of market share and now they only have 61.3 percent of the tablet market share since Android now takes up 30 percent of the tablet market share which is amazing growth from last year. And RIM and Microsoft still aren't doing well and Microsoft is actually ahead of RIM even though they don't have an actual tablet operating system yet.
