It’s July 1, 2011 – worldwide market share for the mobile operating system ecosystem looks like the following:

Symbian: 31.7%
Apple iOS: 23.4%
Blackberry (RIM) OS: 15.2%
Android: 13.8%

Given the proliferation of very competent handsets emerging on the smartphone market supporting Android 2.3, I’m predicting that in 5 years time, we’ll only be looking at Android and Apple as the two major platforms that will co-exist together. Android will remain to have the larger share of the two – this will be driven by the number of non-Apple device manufacturers and market access driven by the mobile network operators and their retail distributions.

Any other takers?
