Android is now leading the market share of the global smartphone operating system overcome other operating systems, Apple iOS, Symbian, BlackBerry OS have actually decreased.
Gartner research institute published Android market share rose to 52 percent in the third quarter of 2011 from 25.3 percent in the third quarter of 2010. If smartphone sales related to the world, this means that almost hit worldwide sales of smartphones have exceeded 60 million units.
The second position is taken that even Symbian dropped from 20 percent last year to only 16.9 percent this year. The operating system is expected to demand plummeted since last year. Apple iOS market sharealso reduced to only 15 percent, equivalent to sales of 17 million units of smartphones. While last year, Apple iOS still reach 16.6 percent of the market.
“Decline of Apple iOS market share due to consumers many expect the arrival of the iPhone 4S,” said Roberta Cozza, research analyst at Gartner.
So it is with Research in Motion (RIM) as the maker of the BlackBerry OS with market share falling only 11 percent, from 15.4 percent previously. BlackBerry market share decrease is the BlackBerry sales actually dropped in the U.S. market, which is 10 percent.
While Microsoft’s mobile operating system only has a market share of 1.5 percent. Cozza suspect that this operating system is that the impact of its market share gains in the next year. It was after a special partnership between Microsoft and Nokia.
