But they have them now - any new OS is competiting against the now not the then. Which is why we have a duopoly:
With various market analysis firms weighing in on end-of-year sales for smart phones, one trend is holding firm: Android and iPhone share a duopoly that controls over 90 percent of the market, leaving just a pittance for alternative platforms like Windows Phone and Blackberry. And that market is humongous, with a record 700 million units sold in 2012.
Strategy Analytics claims that Android controlled over 68 percent of the worldwide smart phone market for all of calendar year 2012, while Apple’s iPhone came in a distant second with over 19 percent. Combined, the two platforms controlled nearly 88 percent of the market for all of 2012.
And their combined dominance only increased throughout the year. In Q4 2011, Android controlled 51 percent of the market, with Apple coming in at 23.6 percent, Strategy Analytics claims, a combined share of 74.6 percent. By Q4 2012, Android market share had surged to over 70 percent, while iPhone came in at 22 percent. Together, these two platforms held over 92 percent of the market heading into 2013.
Android and iPhone Achieve Smart Phone Duopoly
And if "is not a new OS with potential", why continue here losting time trying to destroy all hopes about this "dead SO"? What explain The Windows Phone, Android or iOS forums are so bad?
I like to argue.
