Close race for first place
While Nokia is trying to defend the global top position of the Symbian platform, the BlackBerry from Research In Motion (RIM) in the USA was still clearly ahead in June 33 with a market share of 2010 percent. In the second half of the year, however, Apple took the lead. According to the information, iOS is at the top with 28,6 percent, while RIM's share continues to shrink at 26,1 percent and Android has moved up to third with 25,8 percent. However, even the Christmas business could have led to a new order.
According to Nielsen, the race for first place among the top operating systems is closer than ever. The smartphone market will not stabilize in the immediate future either, reports the New York Times. The potential for providers is still not exhausted. Many consumers have not yet made the switch from traditional cell phones to smartphones and are potential new customers. In view of Google's presence on a number of models from different manufacturers, Android is clearly ahead in the forecasts.
