<<It's only in the US that iMessage is so prevalent that Android users have to use SMS, the only other way of messaging iOS devices. And the US is quickly becoming a de-facto iOS only country. It already has more than 50% market share, even 80% among young people.

Do you have any data to back it up? I have trouble believing that, but I am admittedly biased against Apple devices.
