the world wide mobile platform market, with its dominance particularly being felt in the Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>The figures were published on Monday by Canalys, a company that analyzes the use and trends in mobile applications, mobile security, net pads and smartphones.&nbsp; Here are some of their results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Google\u2019s Android operating system appeared as the most popular smartphone platform in 35 of the 56 countries that Canalys tracks.<\/li>\n<li>Predictably, Apple\u2019s iPhone came next \u2013 shipping around 20.3 million iPhones worldwide for a smartphone market share of 19 percent.<\/li>\n<li>Samsung ranked third; shipping around 17 million handsets sporting both Android and their own OS.<\/li>\n<li>In fourth place was Nokia.&nbsp; Once the global leader, Nokia is hitting hard times these days.&nbsp; This is why they have teamed up with Microsoft and will be providing us with Windows Phone 7 smartphones in the near future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While Samsung\u2019s success represents an improvement of over 400 percent over last year, analysts still say that the company didn\u2019t leverage Nokia\u2019s problems as well as they could have:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Samsung has failed to fully capitalize on Nokia&#8217;s weakened state around the world, as the Finnish company rides out a challenging transitional period,&#8221; says Chris Jones of Canalys.&nbsp; &#8220;It&#8217;s the best placed vendor to grow at Nokia&#8217;s expense, taking advantage of its global scale and channel reach, but it hasn&#8217;t yet done enough to capitalize on this, particularly in emerging markets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last year, everything was iOS.&nbsp; This year, it\u2019s all about Android.&nbsp; With Nokia and Microsoft teaming up, it\u2019ll be interesting to see what next year brings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reading an article this morning on Reuters that says that the Android OS now makes up 48 percent
