Kaspersky Believes Android Will Get 80% Share

Computer security expert Eugene Kaspersky predicts Google's Android smart phone operating system will come to dominate the market, reducing Apple and BlackBerry to niche players. Android could wind up with 80 percent of the installed base, Kaspersky maintains.

Kaspersky argues there is only “one company, one operating system which follows Microsoft's strategy of the 1990s” when its Windows computer operating system became dominant on personal computers.

Of course, that view assumes the mobile computing market will mirror the desktop computing market, and many would contest that notion.
