[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 1852332, member: 10952"] Which ones. What is so revolutionary about any of them ? There will always be fanactics to flock to the latest & greatest. To acquire critical mass is a whole other thing. The most promising to date has been WP8 as it comes with M$ backing and we've seen it will still take them at least 2 more years to mature. WP8 is doing this by supplying affordable handsets in the low to mid tier segments. Its the hardware that will make or break things here. Show me a contender to the lumia 520. That will be interesting. Yes, easily, for the next couple of years at least. Then what ? neither OS is fixed they will also be moving. Just moving across manufactures in android is problematic because of switching costs. People get used to the UI and want to stick with it, don't want to learn another one. This is why vendors put out those bloated or not UIs to hook customers to their brands. IDC market shares figures that i recall Android - 75% iOs - 13% WP8 - 3% BB - under 3% everybody else - remaining 6% 6% vs 88% :D [/QUOTE]
