2010 will NOT be the year of Android ... But it will come.
I see the commentaries everywhere.
From analysts to bloggers to regular folks like us. The predictions and the hunches are telling us that Android will break out this year and perhaps out-pace all the others.
It will not be #1 by the end of 2010 but in a few years the Android platform will overtake the others (not sure how many - can't see the future as well as the other guys). I almost see it as the poor-man's iPhone and BlackBerry and at some point the Smartphone OS ranking will be as follows:
- Android
- iPhone
- BlackBerry
This will be both on the consumer side as well as on the enterprise side.
Over the last few years the ecosystem around each OS has become increasingly important and Android will provide opportunities for many small players. It will be ALL ABOUT the ecosystem and given Android's open source nature the barriers to entry (either real or psychological?) are less and it is perfect positioned to grow.
