Apple in third place as smartphone shipments soar, Feb 06, 2008

Another interesting tidbit from the release: Shipments of Linux-based smartphones were flat in 2007, despite the strong growth in almost every other segment of the market. That's Google's hope for Android, that it can take the promise of a mobile operating system based on Linux and actually get some traction.

Lesson learned: Just because something can run two operating systems doesn't mean it's a "dual-boot" system.

Can Google's application development prowess be transformed into a next-generation mobile operating system?
