IDC even reports that the smart phone market would grow by around 49% within this year. According to Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC’s Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team,

Android is poised to take over as the leading smart phone operating system in 2011 after racing into the number 2 position in 2010. For the vendors who made Android the cornerstone of their smart phone strategies, 2010 was the coming-out party. This year will see a coronation party as these same vendors broaden and deepen their portfolios to reach more customers, particularly first-time smart phone users.
