In the world’s most populous country, it’s not surprising that
Android is no. 1. What is surprising however, is that the second place
goes to Microsoft and their WP7, with Apple trailing closely
behind. Michel van der Bel, COO Greater China Region at Microsoft broke
the news himself, saying that after only a mere 2 months after launch,
Windows Phone 7 handsets already has 7% of the market, compared to
Apple’s 6%.
“We have only just begun,”, he said. “Our smartphone and tablet-pc
are hybrid, making them suitable for the consumer, but also easy to
insert within an existing company infrastructure. This will allow us to
better anticipate the consumerization of IT than many competitors. ” The
biggest share of the OS pie belonged to Android, accounting for about
69% of the market.
