This is interesting! I’m a bit surprised RIM is doing so well, we’ll see what the future holds if they don’t fix their user experience.

Intresting how people react to the facts and figures. and also amazed to know how GUI dominat Mobile OS when people talk about there phones or buying phones.

Linux/Unix is the only open source leting companies enjoy the liberty, its like every company wants to cook their future on an already tested platform except symbian and windows.

So I would respect these two and not worry about others, as they are just making us all look like fools and reaching million/billion mark.

cheers

Besides Windows, everything is running on Unix/Linux. That’s including Apple iOS and Symbian. You just have to give Microsoft that for standing out.

If you include ipad in this list, you should also include HP slate, a full windows 7 Pad.
Smartphones are other things and tablet PC is other thing. Why to compare these ?

Interestingly, it looks like Android's share is all at the expense of Linux.

:) I’d like to see that as the label, lol.

Add one more: bastardized Java and VM.

Because it also runs it’s own Google-ized, non-standard version of Java, on it’s own VM, Davlik.

In other words, the heavy lifting is done by Java, the Linux kernel is used for threading and memory, which is interesting that Java, or at least this fork of Java, is reaching it’s original intended use – that of small devices.

I don’t particularly care for the fact that they’ve pulled a sort of a Microsoft move in “embracing and extending” Java, but they’ve got their own reasons, and the rest of the architecture looks pretty cool. libc, “derived” from BSD, WebKit (same as Safari, with roots in KDE), SQLite, etc.
