| The current law states that all encrypted

Smartphonesâ ecosystem dilemma
,----[ Quote ]
| Why is the Motorola Droid apparently
| gaining traction in the smartphone market,
| when Microsoft and Nokia are failing so
| miserably?
|
| The Droid, built on Googleâs Android mobile
| operating system, sold 250,000 in its first
| week on the market. Thatâs way behind the
| 1.6 million iPhone 3Gs sold in the first
| week after its launch, but itâs still enough
| for Motorola to see possible salvation after
| years of decline and for Google to feel
| self-congratulatory about its venture into
| mobile.

How Microsoft blew it with Windows Mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Windows continues to dominate the
| PC market with a 90 percent market-share
| stronghold, but when it comes to
| smartphones, Microsoft is getting beat up
| worse than a mustachioed villain in a Jackie
| Chan movie.
|
| Windows Mobile has lost nearly a third of
| its smartphone market share since 2008,
| research firm Gartner reports. Windows
| Mobile had 11 percent of the global
| smartphone market in the third quarter of
| 2008, according to Gartner, and last quarter
| Windows Mobile's market share plummeted to
| 7.9 percent.

| The open-source Android operating system

| Linux-based mobile operating systems had
| 4.7 percent.
