The crashing done of RIM from 17% to 12% is creating quite a bit of apprehension in the market these days.
On the other hand Android shares have risen from zero to 48%, iOS from 2% to 19% and Bada from zero to 4%.
The graph given below will reveal the stunning facts about what is happening in the share market and the growth and decline of different brands.
While the iPhone has rewritten the entire base of competing forces in the mobile market, it has let loose powerful forces that are continuing to create new trends in the market. One of the most natural outcomes of all this is the Android that was brought out to compete with the iPhone that rocked the market by storm. Android was a huge success and it has incurred notable profits in the long run. This makes it possible for dealers to get rid of their low profit feature phones to low end entrants like Huawei and ZTE. The reputable mobile brands like LG, Samsung and Motorola are all turning their attention to producing Android portfolios in the place of feature phones.
Some brands like Nokia have realized the trap and tried to give a long shot with Microsoft as they were no longer confident about being able to hold on alone. In the same way, RIM is attempting to move forward with QNX and HP with WebOS and Samsung's Bada are proof of attempts to evade their doom.
Apple on the other hand is racing in a totally different direction. iOS which has to do more with computers rather than mobile phones is making good returns which help it to retain its initial goal of ruling the computer world. iOS is no doubt making rapid strides in the market and is improving its performance day by day.
