Android will soon trail only Symbian, says IDC

,----[ Quote ]
| The firm did not list figures for other 
| OSes, but noted that Android will benefit 
| from "having a growing footprint of handset 
| vendors supporting it." As for Symbian, it 
| will continue to stay strong due to Nokia's 
| strength outside the U.S., says IDC, which 
| made no mention of the impact of Symbian's 
| transition to open source.
