Q4 2010 finally saw Android based smart phones overtaking their closet rival Symbian in terms of unit sales. So now Android has become smart phone OS with largest market share. Symbian is second and struggling to keep that position. The main reason behind Symbian experiencing a setback is the advent of smart phone OSs like the iOS, Android and then there is the BB OS, which is becoming mainstream thanks to the acceptance of Blackberry by all types of mobile users. Among all these new OSs, Android had an advantage. It was backed by the Giant Google and also by the Open Handset Alliance. The OHA has some of the world's biggest OEMs and mobile service providers. Two big smart phone players, Samsung and HTC, have shown their commitment to Android is the last one and a half year. Samsung had Symbian as OS on some of its phones but the company realized that they needed something feature rich and open and something that can have an ecosystem of Apps and developers around it. That time the best answer was Android and without thinking twice the Korean giant came up with Android based phones, which did well. Unlike Samsung, HTC phones came with Windows Mobile OS and its popularity and user friendliness is something on which battles can be fought for years. Keeping WinMo as one of the OS on it phones, HTC launched a whole army of Android phones on its own and a couple of them with Google. And with google's backing Android was all over the web, why nt they bloody own the fukin Internet. Companies like Motorola and LG followed after Samsung and HTC to take the Android path. The DROID literally turned luck for Motorola and we saw the Droid 2 and we will soon see more in 2011. The rate at which companies today are churning out Android phones ias amazing, this bloody thing has become like the Facebook of mole OSs. 2011 will definitely see new phones and tablets based on Android and that is something which companies like Apple and RIM are keeping an eye on. So nobody can tell what will happen with Android this year, it will grow for sure but will it topple the leaders is every category or will it be taken head on by some other OS is unpredictable. If you ask me, I am not a mobile guru or industry wizard, I would like to wait, watch and then open my bloody mouth.
