Nokia continues to rule the mobile operating systems sector with its Symbian, with 37 percent of the market share. Few surprises in this regard. The striking comes in second place. Confirming the explosive rise experienced in recent months, Google's mobile platform, Android, manages to displace RIM's BlackBerry OS and is positioned, with a 17 percent market share, in the second place of the global mobile platforms.
As we say, the growth and acceptance of Android among telephone users has been such that it has multiplied its share by fourteen compared to 2009, according to data from the study carried out by Canalys to analyze health in the third quarter of the year in this sector. In any case, it seems difficult, if not impossible, that it can reach Nokia and its Symbian, whose presence not only extends to smartphones (for which it has recently launched a new platform, Symbian 3), but to many other more traditional cutting devices.
This data is precisely related to another that we mentioned a few days, and according to which Nokia, Samsung and LG would continue to lead the mobile telephony market (without entering the field of smartphones, which would be included within the same sector).
Seen this way, precisely the success of Samsung and LG would be related (although not decisive) with the penetration of Android in the market, while Nokia would retain its dominant position thanks to an operating system that the vast majority of users recognize as a platform very familiar and recognizable.
For their part, RIM or Apple systems would be left behind, and only in figures referred exclusively to the analysis of the sale of smartphones (which even today are minimal compared to the rest of the terminals, representing only two out of every ten devices that are sell) charge a little more relevance.
