Google's Android is on the roll. A recent Gartner report showed that Android has soared ahead of its competitors. As per Gartner, "Google and Apple are the obvious winners in the smartphone ecosystem. The combined share of iOS and Android in the smartphone operating system (OS) market doubled to nearly 62 percent in the second quarter of 2011, up from just over 31 percent in the corresponding period of 2010 (see Table 2). Gartner analysts observed that these two OSs have the usability that consumers enjoy, the apps that consumers feel they need, and increasingly a portfolio of services delivered by the platform owner as well".
Though Symbian takes the 2nd spot, it is clearly in a down-slide motion. I feel continuous innovation and amazing apps on Android and iOS are fueling their growth. It is extremely crucial for Nokia to perk up its OS and make it strong enough to compete with Android and iOS. Additionally, the market seems to be getting restless to see what the Nokia-Microsoft partnership brings to the table.
Google and Apple OS will definitely keep growing. And with the latest acquisition of Motorola Mobility by Google, Android is bound to have a great run for the next couple of years.
