The conventional wisdom is that Android and Apple's iOS will be among the top-three smart phone operating systems globally, over the next several years. The question is whether Research in Motion or Windows will occupy spot number three."While we acknowledge the momentum that Android is experiencing and will continue to experience in 2011 and 2012, we believe that Nokia and Microsoft are a very powerful tandem, and that will show in its full force by the end of 2013," says Stela Bokun,Pyramid Research senior analyst.
The argument is that Nokia's volume manufacturing prowess will allow Windows devices to rapidly move down the cost curve. Quite a few other large handsets vendors in the world, such as Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson also are backing WP.
Android's scale advantage can be overcome, says Bokun.
