Tech Fortune’s Apple 2.0 blog reports that Gartner issued its Q2 report today, in which it said that Apple’s share of the global mobile phone market almost doubled year on year in Q2 of 2011, showing an increase from 2.4% to 4.6%. This means that Apple is now the fourth biggest mobile (not just smartphone) vendor in the world, but still trailing behind Nokia, Samsung and LG. As far as the purely smartphone market is concerned, Gartner’s figures show that Apple’s share of that rapidly growing market grew by 29% in Q2, up to 14.1% from 18.2%, meaning that Apple's iOS (not including the iPad or iPod touch) is now third in the smartphone operating systems list, behind Google’s Android, which grew by 152%, and Nokia’s Symbian, which fell by 46%. Gartner said that smartphone sales were up 74 % year-on-year.
