Lam predicts that Android will go on to usually benefit smartphone OS marketplace share in the entrance years, flourishing from 47.4 percent of the marketplace in 2011 to 58.1 percent by 2015 (see draft below).

Meanwhile, Nokia “stands to branch the thrust in smartphone marketplace share” and collect up a little belligerent mislaid to Apple and Samsung in new quarters, Lam wrote.
“One of the hottest new products denounced at the Consumer Electronics Show was the Lumia 900, a Windows Phone-based smartphone sporting a adorned set of facilities that makes it rival with the most appropriate alternatives offering by the Android camp,” Lam said.
“This prohibited product represents Nokia’s initial step to retrieve the marketplace share.
