According to Gartner, Android is the OS to watch. The firm predicts Android will leap ahead of RIM's BlackBerry, Apple's iPhone, and Microsoft's Windows Phone, in global popularity. How's that for success?
From MercuryNews.com: "Gartner said the explosive popularity growth of Google's mobile operating system will make Android the world's second-most-popular operating system by the end of this year, with Android accounting for 17.7 percent of worldwide sales -- up from 3.9 percent at the end of 2009."
Gartner predicts that by 2014 Android will have doubled the number of iPhones out there, and will have 30 percent of the worldwide market. Nokia will also have 30 percent according to Gartner.
Here's another nice little tidbit of information. "The projections account for Gartner's expectation that Verizon, the largest U.S. wireless carrier, will begin to sell the iPhone in coming months."
