Market Share
In 2006, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Bada did not yet exist and just 64 million smartphones were sold. Today, nearly 10 times as many smartphones are sold and the top mobile operating systems marketed as "smartphones" by market share are Android, Symbian, Apple iOS, BlackBerry, MeeGo, Windows Phone and Bada. Note that these statistics only include operating systems marketed as "smartphones" (e.g., they don't include Nokia's S40 operating system, which according to Nokia's announcement on 25 January 2012, has sold over 1.5 billion S40 devices.).

Famous quotes containing the words market and/or share:
“It is a sign of our times, conspicuous to the coarsest observer, that many intelligent and religious persons withdraw themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and the caucus, and betake themselves to a certain solitary and critical way of living, from which no solid fruit has yet appeared to justify their separation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I feel the desire to be with you all the time. Oh, an occasional absence of a week or two is a good thing to give one the happiness of meeting again, but this living apart is in all ways bad. We have had our share of separate life during the four years of war. There is nothing in the small ambition of Congressional life, or in the gratified vanity which it sometimes affords, to compensate for separation from you. We must manage to live together hereafter. I cant stand this, and will not.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
