Symbian Still Number One

“
faces significant challenges in our competitiveness and our execution

  • Last year, an average of 184,000 Android phones were sold per day compared with Apple's 127,000 iOS powered devices, a total of 46.6 million units for the year
  • This despite total world handset sales surging by 32% to 1.6 billion units in 2010, according to figures released by research firm Gartner
  • Without direct access to their subscribers, this vital bond between newspapers and readers would be broken, to the detriment of both
  • Compared with this time last year, there is now a lot more choice for the tablet hunter; Motorola's Xoom, Samsung's Galaxy Tab, and Research In Motion's Playbook are added to the fray alongside offerings from LG, ASUStek, Lenovo, Acer, Toshiba and Sony, so that in tablet terms Apple's are no longer the only fruit
  • Android is on a roll, not only angling to take the number one spot for mobile operating system from Nokia's Symbian, but also eclipsing archrivals Apple
