IDC: in 2015 Windows Phone takes over Symbian

Research firm IDC has published a long-term forecast of market development of mobile operating systems. Forecast covers the period from 2011 until the end of 2015. According to the agency, a leading market position in all that time will keep the operating system from Google. In this case, a very large share growth in the market for Android will not be - in the four years the proportion will grow 38.9% in 2011 to 43,8% by the end of 2015. In this case, annual growth will be slightly higher than the market in general and has made 23,7%. The greatest progress will demonstrate operating system Windows Phone 7, which according to IDC analysts takes place which now is at Symbian. C the current 3,8% occupied all mobile operating systems from Microsoft, their share will rise to 20.3%, showing an average growth in 82,3%. The market share of Symbian will fall to 0.1% from 20.6% at the end of 2011.

Retain significant market share from Apple OS, BlackBerry, although in percentage terms will be less. First - with 18,2% in 2011 to 16,9% in 2015, and the second with 14,2% to 13,4%.

According to IDC's expectations for the coming year the overall market will grow by 55% compared to 2010 and will reach 472 million smartphones. And by 2015, will double the number of smartphones.

Microsoft Encouraging More Tablets

Microsoft Encouraging More Tablets

Several hardware makers are teaming up with Microsoft, in an attempt to give Apple a run for its money. They're looking to release a number of Windows-based tablet computers that can compete with Apple's iPad. At least 21 manufacturers were mentioned, including Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Asus, Toshiba, Sony, Lenovo, and Panasonic.

The news was announced by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on Monday, July 12, at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, "This year one of the most important things that we will do in the smart device category is really push forward with Windows 7-based slates and Windows 7 phones. Over the course of the next several months, you will see a range of Windows 7-based slates that I think you'll find quite impressive. This is a terribly important area for us. We are hardcore about this."

He added, "They'll come with keyboards, they'll come without keyboards, they'll be dockable, there'll be many form factors, many price points, many sizes, but they will all run Windows 7. They will run Windows 7 applications. They will run Office."

Ballmer did admit Microsoft failed with Windows Mobile and is unable to compete with iPhone, Droids, and Blackberrys. On the other hand, he says Windows Phone 7 has received, "great reviews, really quite remarkable reviews." The company's mobile phone partners were listed to include Samsung, Dell, Asus, Toshiba, Garmin, Sony Ericsson, and HTC.

Ballmer also talked at length about cloud computing - Windows Azure - and its "new opportunity." He says cloud enables Microsoft to help customers "streamline their operations and improve their agility." Ballmer also says, "The world of tomorrow is a world of a smart cloud talking to smart devices roam your information across the internet. We are at an inflection point in technology history...for customers, cloud computing creates tremendous value, which translates to massive opportunity for Microsoft and its partners."

According to Microsoft, eBay, Fujitsu, Dell, and HP will be using Windows Azure appliances. Dell says the platform will be useful for delivering cloud services to small and medium-sized businesses.

Other news from Microsoft included news that they've sold 150 million licenses for Windows 7 since its launch in October, 2009.
