Allright, I polished up my crystal ball. So here's my 2 cents worth of predictions. In 3 years time, the top 10 worldwide, in order:
1. Android. It's everywhere, on almost every manufacturer's hardware from low-end to high except Apple and Nokia. Everyone else has been assimilated. We are the Droids - resistance is futile!
2. Symbian. Hangin' tough in the mid-to-lo market, which is
huge
. Not done yet but feelin' it's age a little.
3. Apple. iPhone iNsanity is over, reality sets in. Market share overall starting to fade but still very much alive. So is Steve Jobs.
4. Maemo. The mobile OS of choice for those who know and care. Still mostly higher-end, but working toward the mid-range market fast as good hardware gets cheaper.
5. WinMO. Some people only know/want Windows. M$ won't throw in the towel 'cause they know people bought Trabants and Yugos, too.
6. RIM. Tarnished but still a business staple. The Crackberry habit can be hard to break.
7. Everything else proprietary like Samsung, etc. No life in this bunch. Call 911.
8. Garmin's Nuviphone OS, whatever they call it. They'll sell a few. At least buyers won't get lost.
9. Everything else OS, like LinMo, Moblin, etc. This group still has problems.
10. WebOS. R.I.P. Palm. Buried in a plot with Sprint/Nextel.
