Androïd seduces new members to the telephone market

The Open Handset Alliance who organises all the industrialists interested in Androïd and its developments announced the arrival of 14 new members, AKM Semiconductor Inc., ARM, ASUSTek Computer Inc., Atheros Communications, Borqs, Ericsson, Garmin International Inc., Huawei Technologies, Omron Software Co. Ltd, Mobile Softbank Corporation, Sony Ericsson, Teleca AB, Toshiba Corporation and Vodafone.
There are some among this crowd who will give to this operating system for mobile phones initiated by Google, a new strength and very strong developmental perspectives.
Of course, Apple which has its OS X and Nokia which pushes Symbian do not form part of this group and will defend tooth and nail their solutions compared to that of Google. Microsoft, who continues to defend its in-house system, is not a partner either in spite of the significant decrease of its market shares. In the long term, Windows Mobile will be certainly the first impacted by Androïd. Indeed, since Microsoft do not manufacture telephones, they will have to convince their partners not to go to Androïd whereas Nokia and Apple have another lever at their disposal, that is the telephones that they manufacture and market under their own brand.
