Android Thoughts - Opinions, News, Advice & Reviews on Android Devices

"It's the start of a new month which means it's time for more surveys, reports, and findings to start rolling in. Among the first this month comes the comScore MobiLens report which looks at the US mobile scene."

Android continues to dominate the U.S. phone market at the expense of RIM, Microsoft, and Palm. There really isn't much to day other than, "OH YEAH!!!" It kind of makes you wonder how long the other "major players" will continue to hold on.

"We like, ok, love poking fun at analysts' long term forecasts given the volatility of the smartphone market. Nobody, neither Gartner nor IDC, predicted the meteoric rise of Android and iOS, thus making their four-year projections (measured to a decimal point) laughable, to say the least. Shorten that timeline to the end of the year, however, and the accuracy of these forecasts tends to increase dramatically."

If this guestimate is even close to correct this if really not good news for those Symbian people. Everyone pretty much knew that Symbian was doomed but by the end of next year? eep! Even RIM is on the down hill slide but it looks as if Symbian just drove off the cliff. Though it is reassuring to know that Android is finally on the cusp of achieving world domination. *insert maniacal laughter here* I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome all of the former Symbian users to the Android Thoughts community. ;)
