Even the tech companies, such as Google, which had nothing to do in mobiles hardware or software, jumped into the scene to claim their share of pie or to protect their intellectual rights and future!

Today, Android is activating more than 5.6 million devices a day and has become the industry leader, leaving Symbian to eat dust! IOS is also picking up extremely fast in developed countries, where vast majority of population can afford iPhones. Symbian had been an industry leader for a while, but it seems the classic OS is now losing its grip to smarter and sleeker competitors, such as iPhone, series of Samsung phones, smart HTC mobiles etc, however, Nokia’s partnership with Microsoft will most likely create a healthy and much more balanced competition, this might also limit Android from becoming a Monopoly, it would have been even better if MS had geared up quicker with Windows Phone operating system.
