How does this compare to W7P and iOS?


I haven't seen hard data, but analysts estimate WinPho 7 has shipped 2.5 million devices as of the end of calendar Q1. Things won't get too interesting with that platform until Nokia is ready to start shipping it.

iOS has shipped 189 million devices as of the end of calendar Q1.

Android and iOS devices are actually shipping at roughly the same rate right now, with Android shipping more phones while Apple ships more iPods and tablets.

If you're asking for a software comparison, Android is quickly catching up to Apple in app variety and download rate. New Android DRM support should bring a wider array of streaming video services to Android (Netflix, Hulu, etc.). Apple still maintains a massive lead (think factor of ten or so) in software revenues. Android Market compensates with ad revenues, but some kinds of software just don't work very well with ads.

Cool thanks for the info!
