在全球手机操作系统的竞争当中，诺基亚将成为市场份额萎缩最大的制造商，据分析诺基亚在手机市场的比例将从53%下滑到32%。android可能在2012年的时候超越塞班symbian。

rcrwireless网站的一篇文章分析称目前symbian的未来值得担忧，诺基亚手机将最终被以android为系统的手机终端超越。Informa市场分析师Malik Kamal-Saadi认为塞班没有进行足够力度的变革，诺基亚的市场压力将会继续加大。

Android’s growth seems unstoppable if we have to believe Informa. The analyst expects half a billion people will be using Android powered phones by 2015.

Key to growth is the possibility to deliver a great user experience against a low price as well as the competition between Google, RIM, Apple and Microsoft. Nokia will be the big loser. Nokia’s 53% ownership of the mobile market will sink to 32%. Android will outgrow Symbian in 2012.（source：mobile games blog）

Despite Nokia’s vehement denials, analysts believe Nokia could eventually be forced to run Google’s popular Android operating system on its phones, as dark clouds continue to loom over Symbian’s future.

Talking to British tech site Mobile News, Malik Kamal-Saadi a principal analyst for Informa Telecoms & Media said “If [Symbian] continues to under-perform in bringing innovation, pressure will grow for Nokia and could push the company to consider the adoption of an alternative platform, notably Android, in the future.”

Kamal-Saadi noted that uptake of Google’s Android operating system would continue to skyrocket, with a potential 540 million people using the operating system by 2015, a compound annual growth of 78% each year from 2009 to 2015. This, says Informa, should be enough to ensure Android topples Symbian from its current top spot in the global OS market, if Symbian continues to sink.

Symbian currently holds a 40% worldwide marketshare, but that number is dropping fast.

Nokia, of course, rejects Informa’s morbid prognosis whole-heartedly, no doubt hoping that Symbian^3 and all its new bells and whistles will save the day for the Finnish phonemaker’s software strategy, but even analysts we’ve talked to here at Unplugged aren’t hopeful.

“Symbian is dead in the water and sinking fast,” InStat’s Jim McGregor told us recently, despite the amount of money Nokia has invested into revamping the operating system. “Nokia is in deep trouble and I’m not sure what the firm can do about it.”

Well, Nokia could always take Informa’s advice and go Google – over Symbian’s dead body, of course.（source：rcrwireless）
