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.).

“Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but, disguised as a market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility and comfort.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“A soul that is reluctant to share does not as a rule have much of its own. Miserliness is here a symptom of meagerness.”
