Apple OS Leaves Competition To Eat Dust

According to research firm Quantcast, the leading OS among wireless subscribers who search the web is the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) operating system with a nearly 60% share.

Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android OS which was not even available two years ago, has 20% of the market.

The new data shows has desperate Research In Motion’s (NASDAQ: RIMM) situation is. It now has a little more than 10% of a market in which it once was a dominant force.

RIM is preparing to launch its own tablet PC and a handset that competes more directly with the iPhone. If those initiatives do not work, the BlackBerry will go the way of the Palm Pilot
