According to the latest data from research centre ABI Research, in the market of mobile phones Nokia takes a leading position…
Its share of phones sold in 2006 was 56.4%. Compared with the year 2005, when Nokia was able to achieve 28.5 million phones in 2006 was sold to 40 million, Motorola in the rating is the second, with the share of sales-8.5% thanks to devices based on Linux.
Also, in its new report, ABI Research reports that there is a need for cost savings associated with the software of handsets ASP. This assumption was made because of the decision of Symbian to lower cost of the licence, as well as the growing interest in Linux. On current projections, Symbian’s share in the market of smartphones will drop to 46% by the year 2012 due to strong competition among operating systems, Linux and Windows.
