Symbian Usage UP! iOS and BB down!!!!!

What The He... iOS Usage Down, BlackBerry Down, Symbian Usage Up? - Bright Side Of News*

We have received a statistic that is so counter-intuitive and bizarre, but I think we can make some sense out of it. This comes from StatCounter who measure global web and mobile traffic. So this is not new phone sales, this is not a measurement of installed bases, it is a measurement of actual usage of devices. On StatCounter members page, I have used the filter of 'mobile OS' for Mobile device operating systems. Note, it is not just cellular use, it includes Wi-Fi use (Sony PlayStation Portable is included) which means that the iOS category includes both the iPhone and the iPod Touch use. But look at the graph. And look at Symbian use for the past six months... What the Heck is happenin' here?

Practically as observed, symbian usage has not been affected till date & still more people are opting for it due to its vastly available apps & customizations which are still been developed & cheered. But yeah it seems BB is loosing on android. More to add, people are actually going the keypad ways from the touchs.

Interesting read,the last para nails it

Symbian in its latest edition is strong, and if you ask users - of their actual usage of what they have in their pocket - these numbers are rather clear. Symbian usage is growing. I think the CEO of the company who owns that platform should not be setting fires, but rather embracing this GROWTH in usage and cherish it and support it. The only sound thing to do would be to support the migration of Nokia developers from Symbian to MeeGo so that MeeGo would become the third platform with about 35% of total global mobile OS usage... Yeah, the obvious strategy is pretty.. obvious. To everyone but ones schooled in Redmond's school of thought.
