Android to be number-2 mobile OS by 2013

From Digitimes -

Per IDC, by 2013 worldwide shipments of smartphones will surpass 390 million units, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 20.9% for 2009-2013, and Android will become the number-two mobile operating system (OS), with Android-powered shipments reaching 68.0 million units, starting from just 690,000 units in 2008, for a CAGR of 150.4% for the said period. Symbian, through Nokia phones, will retain its market leadership.

Meanwhile Linux and Palm's webOS shipments will struggle throughout the same forecast period, with the latter capturing only limited market share due to limited deployment and availability of devices across multiple carriers.
