A report by global market research company IDC, published on Thursday, predicted that the Android operating system more frequently than Microsoft's Windows would be deployed by Google until 2016. The key to understanding this assessment, however, is that certain devices - mobile phones, PCs and other mobile devices - in a single category in the sense of the report is a market research firm pot. So, the explosive not given worldwide sales of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, it's surprising that Android could soon become the dominant operating system in the world.
Android is already firmly anchored to measure, even when using the today's level, used as the second most operating system with 29% of the global market. Windows the operating system on 36% of the appropriate equipment is currently used, but IDC projects that percentage drop to 26% by 2016. The primary reason for the expected decline is the fact, the Smartphones and tablets PCs and laptops by a large margin in the coming years outsell. With such an extreme growth for devices that are most likely to use Android, it is easy to see how such projections materialized.
IDC refers to China and Southeast Asia as the areas where huge jumps in Smartphone sales, the increase in Android use to drive. Will Stofega, IDC Program Director for mobile technologies, said, "Smartphone is growth of Asia/Pacific countries, especially China, where mobile operators subsidise with purchase of 3 G smartphones, which run a total addressable market." "In many if not all instances, the Smartphone will be the primary connection to the Internet."
