Google's Android operating system is where it's at for smartphones
and tablets, according to a report released Tuesday and comments from
the chief executive of graphics chip supplier Nvidia.
Victoria Fodale, an analyst at ABI Research, said Tuesday in a
research note that the Scottsdale, AZ-based marketing research firm
anticipates that Linux-enabled smartphones, led by the success of
Google's Android, will comprise 33 percent of the worldwide smartphone
market by 2015. "With more than 60,000 smartphones shipping per day,
Android has catapulted ahead of other Linux mobile platforms," according
to the note.
The momentum for the platform can be attributed to its flexibility,
she said. "The Android platform can be modified so that (device markers)
can differentiate their products and the licensing terms allow (makers)
to innovate while still protecting proprietary work," wrote Fodale.
