Android Passes Symbian As Most-Shipped Mobile Platform

Symbian is no longer the most-shipped mobile platform, with Android finally knocking Nokia's OS out of the number one position. Manufacturers shipped 32.9 million Android devices in Q4 of last year, compared to 31 million Symbian devices, according to Canalys. That gives Google a 33% share of the global mobile market, over 31% for Nokia's Symbian. 'It's gone from nowhere to number one in the space of two years, which is pretty impressive,' Canalys analyst Pete Cunningham said, predicting Android would double its growth rate this year.

They need to create Android for the i386

Now were talking. Make a version of Google's new desktop OS for 486 PC's and lets get using the old hardware again

I can work with that, I've a couple of 486's here although still used it woukd be nice to have a zippy OS on them.
