New numbers out from Nielsen today point to just how close the U.S. is to having more smartphone than feature phone users: the proportion that currently owns a smartphone, as of February 2012, is 49.7 percent, say the analysts, a big leap on the 36 percent who owned smartphones a year ago.What's increasingly clear in that growth is that, at least in the U.S., no other platform is proving to be a contender against Apple and Google's Android.Currently, Android-based smartphones account for 48 percent of all smartphones owned in the U.S., while Apple's different versions of the iPhone account for 32 percent. Both of those shares have grown: in September 2011, Nielsen said that Android's share was 40 percent and Apple's 28 percent.
