iPhone Dominates Dems and GOP in U.S. House of Representative

We know you're dying to know this little bit of trivia: Apple's iPhone is the dominant smartphone in the U.S. House of Representatives, crossing party lines to do so. David Gregory of NBC's Meet the Press conducted a survey of the House and found that 61 percent of Republicans carried iPhones, while 56 percent of Democrats did the same.

Interestingly, BlackBerry took the second slot with 21 percent of Republicans and 25 percent of Democrats slinging BBs. Android brought up a distant third spot, with 3 percent and 5 percent, respectively.

The survey was conducted from September 6th through September 20th "through calls and email" to every Representative's office. 88 percent of those offices responded, a higher percentage in my opinion. 51 offices either didn't respond or refused to participate.

I don't know if these results means much of anything, but it's interesting that Apple's iPhone enjoys such strong bipartisan support. It's also interesting that Android is so decidedly unpopular in Congress considering the platform's dominance out in the real world. To wit, the Meet the Press article mentioned Android's 51 percent market share in the U.S.
