Canalys, the high-tech expert analyst, has ranked Google's Android as the top smartphone platform leapfrogging Nokia's Symbian in their final Q4 2010 global country-level smartphone market data. With 33.3 million Android-based devices shipped out, Nokia trailed by a slim 31 million devices worldwide although they still take the lead as the top smartphone vendor with 28% market share.Apple took third with 16.2 million iPhones shipped trailed by RIM at 14.6 million. Microsoft was last with 3.1 million but to be fair, they started pretty late to be a real competitor in 2010.
For 2011 though it's anybody's guess as the market goes into overdrive with Android's Honeycomb just around the corner, iOS 5 coming soon, Windows Phone 7 upgrade rumoured in February.
