Mobile OS Wars – Invaded by Touch Screen Devices

Back in March last year I shared an article Mobile Os Wars: Symbian leads globally. According to recent Canalys press release 55% of cellphone are now touchscreen with apple having 33.1% followed by Nokia with 29.5% market share. Symbian still leads overall market with 47.2 % share but with only 4.8% growth last year. Currently Android has 4.73% market share but in 2009 7.7 million Android based handsets were sold and predictions are that by 2013 Android will be world’s No.2 mobile OS followed by Symbian.

Nokia is well aware of this situation and they are trying hard to revive their 1st position. Recently they made Symbian Open Source and introduced new version of Symbian named Symbian^3 , watch its video preview and I’m sure it will give hard time to Android & iPhone OS.

Today HTC announed their new Smartphone named HTC Desire. The Desire, of course, featuring virtually all of the original Nexus One’s mojo with a little less direct Google support.

Windows Phone 7 Series also look promising, take a look at this video.
