Abstract
This IDC study provides our worldwide five-year forecast for the rate of
adoption of converged mobile devices by operating system. The document contains
worldwide and U.S. platform-based forecasts of devices shipped with a
high-level operating system (HLOS). The study is valuable to hardware,
software, and solution vendors targeting the high end of the mobile device
market and catering to both individual and enterprise buyers.
"As the culture of mobile data consumption takes hold, leading industry
players, particularly device vendors, are focusing greater attention on a
critical asset: the high-level mobile operating systems and platforms that
support third-party applications and services," according to Shiv Bakhshi,
director, Mobile Devices Technology and Trends.
