Android to take half of smartphone market by 2012 says Gartner

by Kenny Hemphill on 8 April 2011 in News

Google’s Android operating system will account for half of all smartphones by 2012, according to research firm, Gartner.

In a forecast issued yesterday, the company predicted that Android would take a significant lead over Apple’s iOS and that Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 would take second place by 2015, with 19.5%.

Gartner’s prediction sees both Apple and RIM losing out to Google and Microsoft in terms of market share over the next four years, with HP’s WebOS a long way behind. That market, according to Gartner, will see sales of 468m units in 2011, nearly 60% more than in 2010, rising to 1.1bn units in 2015.
