IDC: smartphone market continues to dominate iOS and Android

In the second quarter of 2012, Google will once again set the record for the popularity of its mobile operating system Android. For the first quarter of smartphones with this operating system has sold over 100 million units. Now Google has a share of 68.1% of the smartphone market. The only competitor for it is Apple, which continues to build up a fair pace iOS presence in the market, but so far no direct opposition to what we can not go - the share of iPhone accounted for only 16.9% of all shipments of smartphones in the second quarter. It is worth noting that Google and Apple in total control 86% of all deliveries, which is not coherent with a share of any other mobile OS. However, if iOS - it only iPhone, then for Android characteristic greater variety, in which even the leading company Samsung has less than half of all deliveries (44%). Other mobile operating systems are not so much in the position of catching up and lagging behind, losing in popularity. BlackBerry OS has established a kind of anti-record, down to the level of the first quarter of 2009, occupying only 4.8% of deliveries (down 40.9%). Predictably poor results and the once dominant Symbian - 4,4% (falling to 62.9%), which is not surprising for an OS that is already in a state of living mertetsa being officially buried Nokia. The reorientation of the company's latest operating system Windows Phone has allowed the latter to show growth in 115.3%, even more than the Android (106,5%), but even with the bygone Windows Mobile, deliveries amounted to only 3.5%.
