Android Beat Symbian in Asia


Android Mobile Operating System continues to demonstrate kehebatanya. After a best-selling smartphone in the United States, soccer exploits Google's platform is now claimed to undermine the hegemony of Symbian in the Asian region.


According to data from research firm GfK who launched CellularNews and quoted on Thursday (11/25/2010), in the third quarter 2010 managed to surpass Symbian Android in Asia.


"Our Q3 report shows that the Android beyond the Symbian as the most popular smartphone OS in the context of Asia as a whole, both in sales value and number of units sold," said Gerrard Tan, Regional Account Director for Telecommunications GfK Asia.


But there is a special note of Tan about trends in the region of Southeast Asia, where Symbian is still a leader. Yet according to GfK, sales of Symbian handsets in this area shows the downward trend.
