dependent on desktops and laptops to surf the internet are now
leaning towards accessing the net with mobile devices like
smartphones. (www.bit.ly/JXMlkW)
The study reveals that Nokia (NOK), Google (GOOG) and
Apple (AAPL) are the key players in the
European market. Nokia's Symbian and Google's Android have the
highest market share among Smartphone platform but Apple's iOS
leads others in the connected device market with 30% share.
Symbian has lost hold of the European market in recent years
because of heavy competition from other platforms like Android and
iOS. Virtually dumped by Nokia, Symbian's growth has declined by
6.2% while Android has increased by a whopping 330.2%. Android --
the 2nd largest platform -- holds 28.1% of the market. Although
Android leads the Smartphone market followed by Symbian, Apple
leads the overall digital market with a 30% share. The largest
share of Apple's devices came from iPhone (20 million) followed by
iPad (8.9 million) and iPod Touch (7.7 million).
With Android's increasing popularity, niche device makers are
adopting it as their preferred platform. D5 Mobile, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Readen Holding, Corp (PINKSHEETS: RHCO) has launched
2 new Android based smartphones to be available to the public on
June 15, 2012. The D606 is a dual function touchscreen with a full

full touchscreen device is aimed at the consumer market. To read
