A mobile analytics firm has published new findings which show the iPhone taking the majority of the app market — especially when it comes to the sheer number of users.

Examining 8 million users and 100 apps, researchers at firm Flurry hint that Apple’s handset has a conspicuous market share lead among developers, the number of apps and the actual range of customers for those apps.

The study, provided to ReadWriteWeb, reveals that 72 percent of the developers being tracked by Flurry are writing for iPhones, while Google’s Android is a comparatively distant second at 22 percent. JavaME and BlackBerry had far smaller shares at 5 percent and 1 percent each, though Flurry’s marketing VP Peter Farago explains the BlackBerry’s weakness as the product of too few BlackBerry developers on its network at the time of the report. He notes that the absence of the smartphone may have its own implications for the interest, or lack of it, in apps for the platform.

Why haven’t more BB developers registered for analytics, you might ask? It’s a question only BB developers can answer, but apathy like that is probably what contributed to the iPhone’s statistical lead in user and developer interest, in our opinion.
