RIM Takes Second Place For Q2

After all's been said and done, it's all about the money. Sure, it's a little harsh, but everybody needs to make a profit in order to continue doing business. In the cellphone arena, which one reigned supreme for the second quarter of this year? You can probably guess that Symbian wins hands down, but by how much exactly? And how did the others fare? Well, the big news isn't about who's number one, but who's running second. Here's a hint: it's not Windows Mobile.

RIM leap-frogging Windows Mobile at this point simply surprises me. While there are a number of players in the Windows Mobile handset market, HTC has provided some outstanding phone designs in their Touch series over the past year. And yet RIM, with it's long-time corporate device image has also managed to bang out a fair number of popular devices based on the Pearl and the Curve.

Is this an indication of things to come? Is Symbian-RIM going to be the Microsoft-Apple of mobile platforms? And how is Android going to change the arena? Head over to the source for more information.
