Here's what I think the mobile landscape will look like worldwide by 2015.
by late 2012, it is expected for Android to own 50% of the mobile marketshare worldwide.
By 2015 I wouldn't be surprised that number goes up to about 60%.
I can see Nokia/Microsoft going and keeping their existing audience but as Symbian is dying by 2016, this marketshare will be replaced by Windows Phone 7 on Nokia device.
So by 2015 I think Windows Phone 7 powered devices will have about 20% of the marketshare.
Apple should settle at around 10%. RIM will continue falling to about 5-6 percent. I think in the end Apple will be fighting RIM for that niche, proprietary closed up platforms as RIM has a very similar approach as Apple in terms of being closed up and offering their own OS and their own hardware.
Next year though, I think we will see massive increase in Android due to insane amounts of Android/Honeycomb tablets
Android itself should be at about 45-50% by end of next year.
