Apple is feeling a little litigious these days…

For the month of February 2010, Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone controlled 63.7 percent of the mobile web consumption market. Android phones accounted for 15.2 percent, and the Blackberry had a 9.2 percent share. Obviously, Apple’s still the big dog in the yard. But when you look at it over time, it becomes a tad more troubling for the iPhone. Ever since the Android phone debuted in September 2008, the iPhone’s market share has steadily dropped from the low 70s to where it is today. The Blackberry has more or less stayed flat at 10 percent. But after plateauing for a short spell, the Android operating system began a steadily rise starting last fall, as more and more phones came onto the market. The trend seems pretty clear: the more companies offer to sell Android phones, the more people will buy them.
