On the mobile telephony market, the war takes place not only between corporations, but also operating systems. It is natural that some companies have their own software, like Apple has the iPhone OS, or your Nokia Symbian. In this respect, there are further castling and links, such as Microsoft and Google offer their systems primarily to other manufacturers, such as Symbian devices found in the Samsung or Sony Ericsson. However, the battle for the best possible control over the market looks very interesting. GSMArena website on the pages, there have been talking about this statement, which will power producers in North America.
The above table, but rather the results of the analysis system, Android bode well. The increase in popularity of software from Google’s mark is significant and will soon have a chance to catch up tamtejszych champions.
First place, which should not be a great surprise, to be owned by RIM. Percentage owned by Research In Motion, the market will fall slightly, the number of devices sold will still remain significantly above the line.
Apple, which probably needs no introduction to anyone, is in the same situation at RIM. Percent of the market held gently melted, but smartphones will continue to sell like hot cakes.
As for the popularity of operating systems, Android is experiencing a real boom, treading on the heels of Apple. Last year, Google recorded a 9.7% market held, this year will be 18.9% – almost two times more. Loss of 21.3 possessed by Apple is really negligible.
Number of devices sold with the operating system Android will reach 12.3 million units, while Apple gets rid of 13.8 million iPhones. He rightly draws attention to the fact that Google’s system of multi-vendor equipment resides, and the only apple iPhone OS. However, it is a huge feat, taking into account the fact that popular in the United Apple.
If these projections prove true, the system will jump Android Microsoft, Palm and Symbian!
I’m really very curious how the situation develops after the premiere of the new iPhone “4G” (this is expected in June / July this year). Even if the market is slowly saturates the available 3G and 3GS, the successor of the latter can cause a lot of noise. On the other hand, will soon appear on sale latest gem HTC – Desire, Legend and HD mini. The first two will improve the Android statistics, which by the way has not helped the famous Nexus One.
