Our collective geek subconscious no doubt registers each time an Apple device or an Android gear shows up on a movie or TV series, but now reseearch firms have dressed up those appearances into numbers for 2011. Last year Apple was the Hollywood darling with iDevices appearing in no less than 40% of the 2011 box office hits, and that's without Apple paying a dime, but rather offering barter deals in its own ads and iTunes screens...

so, if its 40%, whats the other 60%? hmm? we know its not going to be blackberries and WP7 very often. Me thinks the story ignores a green giant in the room.

Sad, but no one cares about android. It's just a cheaper alternative.

Who knows who the other 60% of devices are made by. Probably a mix of every other manufacturer on the market. I doubt the other 60% is any one particular manufacturer.

when was the last time you didnt see a phone that was either a apple or android on a current show? Its pretty rare these days. so its a pretty obvious guess what would make up the bulk of the other 60%
