The wisdom is that as we integrate our lives into the digital world, we will pick a platform and most likely stick with it. That same wisdom says theres only room for 3-4 providers for the mass market.

Is Symbian not splintered?

It looks to me as if there is plenty of room for all of the platforms, really. The ratio of smartphones to all mobile phones will continue to climb pretty quickly, I think. There are a lot of smartphones that will be sold in the coming years.

Andriod has become splintered already, if that carries on, it has no chance long term. Not that Google care, they just want the traffic, whatever the platform.

I would say far more likely that Android swallows Web OS and Symbian's US market, as well as take enough of a bite out of RIM to force it back into an "Email Device" niche.

By the end of 2010, I think we will be looking at Symbian continuing to slip worldwide, iPhone and Android continuing to rise and RIM and WinMo both stagnant, waiting for a miracle.

Market share has fallen of late but given how the market will look in a few years time and whats required to be a major player, expect Symbain to be near the top worldwide and US.

Really? How do you figure? Most of the projections I've seen show Nokia still in the lead (worldwide, not in the U.S.) but shrinking.

Looks like from 2010 Symbian will start to swallow WebOS, WinMo and possibly Andriod too in the consumer market if they carry on with thier current tactics.
