Android Drives Smartphone Insurance this Holiday Season

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Delray Beach, Florida, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 16, 2011 -- Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA- Ensquared the number one authority for Smartphone and Tablet insurance on the Internet has recently observed an interesting trend in relation to device insurance: Android handset devices combined are being insured more than the iPhone 4S. When it comes to insurance for tablet devices, iPad insurance as a sub-set still dominates by a long way.

Given that Android handset devices are now more popular than iPhone demonstrates a number of important points. Firstly, that the adoption and overall confidence in the open source platform has now

become mainstream. Secondly, all popular handset manufacturers other than Apple, Nokia and BlackBerry now ship product with Android. Thirdly, that the maturity in relation to the Android OS now makes it a very
stable and credible platform for consumers.

"We are seeing Android devices being insured at a 2:1 ratio above Apple. What makes this incredible is that the iPhone 4S has recently been released, " said Gordon Polovin CEO of Ensquared. The cost of premium to
insure an iPhone versus Android is $30 or close to 30% more expensive over a two-year term.

"We are now way past the early adoption phase of the Smartphone. Users know exactly what they want. Devices such as Motorola RAZR or Samsung Nexus are actually much more advanced and higher-end than the iPhone 4S," added Polovin.

Coming into the holiday season Smartphones are big ticket items on the family shopping list, often costing in excess of $600 to replace. A one-year Android insurance policy from Ensquared for less than $60 makes total economic sense given that the cover is comprehensive and protects an owner against Lost, Stolen and Accidental Damage (including water spillage).
