Good has seen an increase in Android activations, but with the launch of the Verizon iPhone and the $49 ATT iPhone 3GS, iOS has been able to hold Android at bay, at least for now.
Dont expect for this to hold true though indefinitely. Android will ultimately surpass iOS and likely even Blackberry if RIM doesnt get its act together. ABI Research released a report back in November on what the enterprise market would look like in 2015. It still lists Symbian as a player, but in 2015, the only evidence of Symbian will be in old blog posts. While the report projects RIM will retain the top spot, Android will be close behind, very close behind.
I wont put a lot of stock in a report that is trying to predict something as volatile as the smartphone market four years out, but it isnt hard to imagine that more IT departments will embrace user devices, as long as there are basic security policies implemented, and the enterprise market will more closely resemble what is going on in the consumer market.
