Before folks start to go all up in arms... the drop from last year to this year is significant in terms of share, but not in terms of sales.

That was last year. That double digit drop in share is not exactly a good thing.

Usually indicates that the past year's share was negligible.
For example: Last year I had 1 cent (which I found on the road). Now I have $100 because I got a job. My growth since last year is 10000%.

Lies, damned lies and statistics

I do agree that the rise of Android has been impressive, but I don't see it ringing a death knell for anyone, least of all Nokia.

The same sequence of events occurs time and time again, because people are lemmings, with no awareness of history.

This is a market that is still in its infancy, so any predictions of long-term domination are folly. 15 years ago, who would have thought that Microsoft would be successful in the games console market? Also, many people spoke of the impending demise of Nintendo, following the relatively poor performance of the N64 and Gamecube. Then came the Wii.

In today's world, where people have short attention spans, it is only the simplest of narratives that receive attention.

Nokia sold around 450 million units in 2010 worldwide. That's as much as Samsung+HTC+Motorola+RIM+iPhone sales all added together. So drop in smartphone marketshare doesn't mean Nokia are selling less.

But in a sense of "OS", Android is definitely the biggest now.

I see a 8 millions units shipment volume increase which is more than Apple, Rim or MS...

Re: Android overtakes Symbian as world's best-selling smartphone platform in Q4 2010
 
The smartphone market nearly doubled in 2010.

Though Nokia did a commendable job increasing their smartphone sales by about 30% during that period, they obviously missed A LOT of opportunities and let their competitors gain significant ground which will not be easy to recoup.

This doesn't even take into account the profit per unit, which Apple has always lead for the past few years. They might very well exceed Nokia's total profit from smartphone sales, even though they ship slightly less than half of Nokia's.

@uvatbc: your analogy may be more appropriate to Nokia's non smartphone sales. their profit per unit on that segment may be that low.

IMHO, a big reason is because CDMA handset vendors finally got a smart OS, Andriod.

And Nokia doesn't ship a single CDMA smartphone.

It's much worse than that, Apple's phone profits exceeds Nokia's total (not just smartphone) profit by a significant margin. Apple is estimated to be earning around half of the entire phone industry profit these days, see http://www.asymco.com/2011/01/31/fou...stry-overview/

No it isn't, the foetus was delivered 3 months premature, half its cortex destroyed because the backstreet doctor botched his coat hanger abortion. A passing good samaritan with a heart of gold, no life and more money than sense found it in a trash can covered in saline burns, tried his best to resuscitate it, failed but decided to keep it in the attic like a ****ing lunatic anyway.

Looks like Android's sales figures may not be all that they seem...

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles..._variants.html

Quote:
Hot on the heels of Samsung admitting that it had exaggerated sales of its Android tablet to consumers, it is becoming clear that Google's Android platform definition is being stretched to include Chinese rivals, including China Mobile's Ophone and Tapas OS, a project run by the former president of Google China.

...

Describing the Chinese OMS as a "variant" of Google's Android platform is a troublesome stretch not just because China Mobile lacks any interest in using its forked version to support Google's ad platforms and services. OMS is also tweaked to use its own APIs and support WAP for web browsing. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a mobile website technology that replaced the full Internet for mobile users there but hasn't ever caught on in the US.

China Mobile's OMS is therefore not only "not Google," its also incompatible with Android apps, and apparently more compatible with Windows Mobile. A report by an Asian technology newsletter said China Mobile issues its own SDK for OMS, and boasts around 600 apps for the OPhone. The company claims 430,000 developers for its platform. It invites Android developers to create apps for OMS, but the two are not the same platform in any meaningful sense.

...

That suggests most the growth in "Android" numbers is coming from no-name vendors selling devices in countries such as China, using devices that don't support Google's development of the OS (via ads or search services) nor even expand the platform in any meaningful way that could benefit Android users.
