Android's on top – will Nokia and RIM let it in?

The Register on news that Nokia will more likely go with WP7 despite Androids dominance over Symbian and iOS:-

“Android has overtaken Symbian to become the number one mobile operating system – a feat never achieved by Apple iOS”

and it never will. Androids predicted fragmentation will make it overall the winner - iOS will never top that with less than a handful of devices.

It goes on to say:-

“and now the new Honeycomb release should enable Google’s platform to eat into the iPad’s tablet market share too”

No doubt it will eat away as tablet fragmentation becomes rife with devices supporting not only honeycomb but older versions of the Android OS an then multiple versions of honeycomb itself.

It’s not a race as there can only be one winner.

What’s interesting is which “flavour” of Android will be the winner….
