Studies show that according to neilson in the past six months, one in three people who bought a smartphone bought an android. While it is still not the leading market sharer in the U.S. theyh currently rank third with a 19% overall U.S. market in August.But the thing that you have to look at in this case is where it came from a low 8% in January. And if you look at the numbers from the past six months android took the lead with a 32% market share in August. Even as apple launched its new version of the iphon, androids market surged during the first month of iphone sales. These numbers are rising due that there are many models of phones that have an adroid platfrom you can choose from.Another reason may be because you are not just tied down to one carrier all major carriers carry androids.There are better bargains when it comes to an android phone as well. Some cell phone carriers have buy one get one free promotions going on. Others include signing up for a 2 year plan and pay a penny for the phone. These are a couple of reason why the android platform are doing well.

Fun is over
So we got up around 10 o clock or so to start breaking down camp which was going to be a complete drag considering how tired and non energetic we are at this point. we are all just ready to go home and take a nice hot shower since i haven't taken one since Friday and its now Sunday so yea a well deserved shower would be great.But we have a lot more work to do first thing is taking down the tents and cooking breakfast. On the menu we had pancakes, eggs, and potatoes.Next we loaded the trailers up with all our stufff, back to making 15 trips up and down the mountain. I rode down the first couple time unloading stuff into the truck, now I'm tired and its someone Else's turn to do some work while i play. I rode on the four wheeler some more before we had to pack it in. The trash was the last load which meant it was over, as we got to the bottom of the mountain Josh's Grandma was waiting there for us and she invited us in for Dinner i couldn't turn down a home cooked meal especially from someones Grandma. She served us Ham dumplings,salad and dinner rolls. For dessert she topped it off with a homemade Pumpkin pie. Then it was back to the highway to come home and watch football

Beer,Guns & Food (Day 2)
Theres not too much else a man could ask for. The morning started out with a wake up call from Chaz's Glock .40 telling us to get up and start cooking breakfast which consisted of bacon,sausage,eggs,and potatoes. Theres nothing like grilling over the fire with a Heineken in your hand at 11:30 in the morning with the crisp fall air hitting your back.Or was it just another sign that it was going to be another long day. After breakfast we rode the four wheelers back down the mountain, it took about four more trips that took 20 mins each to get the rest of camp.When we got back to the site we set up the grill and two cooking stations.We still had a lot of food to cook there was hamburgers,hot dogs,chicken breasts,and plenty of beers to consume throughout the day and night . So then we had a competition to see who was the best marksmen. We had a few different types of guns that we shot. There was a Bushmaster M4 replica, .30-06 which is another type of rifle and a couple of other small calibur handguns.Next thing was to get more food and beer, we started the grill and chilled out by the camp fire. We ate so much that it started to hurt.Now im just stuck in my chair gazing at the stars in the sky, i have never seen so many stars in my life until then i think maybe because it gets so dark up there and im just used to the city lights or something. Time to cook some MORE food we had a roast that we cut up and put on top of the coals from the fire.Sleeptime after that since i was already feeling ill from the first feast.

The Ride,Building Camp in the Dark
So the fellas are off for a weekend of camping in Flintstone,Maryland. The ride started out at out the outdoor world where my buddy Chaz and I were waiting for the two other guys Josh and Aaron to arrive in which they both probably had some type of story to tell the wife in order to go but we wont get into that.So in the mean time me and chaz went into the store and tied up the loose ends needed for the trip.So now we are riding and its going to take a couple hours so i got comfortable and turned the ipod up. About half way there we hit traffic for about 20 minutes as it started to rain. As we approach we see an accident off to the side and police were directing traffic into one lane on I70 what a joke.We finally arrive at the destination but not really because now we have to take the ATVs and the gear that we needed for the night because it was going to take more than a couple trips to go a quarter mile UP the mountain. So we get to the site and dig a hole for the fire pit to cook some grub and get some heat. The next move was to find a semi flat piece of land since were on the side of a mountain to pitch the tents and catch some much needed zzzz's
