Microsoft ‘defeated’ by Google Smartphone

Mobile Tehcnology – As with any research firm iSuppli, a research firm Gartner found if Google managed to beat Microsoft in the smartphone market.

Quoted by Reuters on Thursday (05/20/2010), Gartner claimed mobile phone with Google Android operating system has been ranked in the top of Microsoft Windows Mobile software in the first quarter of this year, which lasted from January until March 2010.

“Google Android phones ranked fourth in the smartphone market, are one rank above the Microsoft Windows Mobile,” said Carolina Milanesi, Research VP of Gartner.

Android OS smartphone market share is claimed to have approximately 10 percent during the quarter. However, this achievement is still far than the kind of smartphone vendors Nokia, Research in Motion (RIM), or Apple.

Increased sales of smartphones in the January to March period reached 40 percent and helped boost overall growth of mobile phones up 17 percent from year to year.

“Sales of smartphone showed strong improvement from year to year since 2006,” said Milanesi.

Previously, iSuppli also revealed similar findings, where Google has been ahead of Microsoft’s software in the business smartphone.
