Blackberry
might be thinking positive, but it’s certainly not making any headway in rainy
weather prone England.
This
as Blackberry has slipped from third place, ceding that position to Windows
Phone based on the stats of eMarketer as stated in “Windows
Phone overtakes BlackBerry in the UK, but who wants to be number three?”,
published August 26, 2014 -- 13:55 GMT (06:55 PDT) By Steve Ranger, ZDNet. By 2015, its projected they’ll
slip even further to fourth place as they lose their grip on a country that
used to love Blackberrys.
Despite
the focus on Good News about Blackberry as noted in my blog article
entitled “Blackberry
blogs positive reviews of Passport as Z3 sells out in India - Blackberry
Passport may be their ticket on the Indian Express”, they have to face some
of the negative news. This is one such example. According to the eMarketer
stats:
1. 83.5%
of smartphones are Google Android smartphones
2. 30%
of smartphones are Apple iPhones
In
the face of this dominance is the projected decline of Blackberry's
marketshare:
1. 35%
decline from previous subscriber levels in 2013 down to 2.4 million subscribers
2. 42%
decline from previous subscriber levels in 2014 down to 1.4 million subscribers
By
2015, the marketshare for smartphones will possibly look like this:
1. 85.5%
of smartphones are Google Android smartphones
2. 28%
of smartphones are Apple iPhones
3. 9%
for smartphones running Windows Phone
4. 3.5%
for Blackberrys
Jolly Old England and
Blackberry – Apple and Android fight as Blackberry is no longer cool
Like
the rest of the World, Jolly Old England, like the US of A, see two operating
systems locked in a titanic struggle for dominance: Apple iOS and Google
Android. As the popularity of other cheaper Asian smartphones powered by Google
Android are on the rise are on the rise as noted in analyst IDC Stats for the
second Quarter of 2014 as stated in my blog article
entitled “IDC
Stats for Second Quarter of 2014 points to Asian Smartphone Rise – How cheaper
smartphones are slowly killing BOTH Apple and Samsung marketshare”.
So
it’s interesting that another advertising marketing company, eMarketer, has
decided to throw yet more coldwater on Blackberry’s planned comeback based on
the teasers of the specs of the Blackberry Passport as chronicled in my blog article
entitled “Blackberry
Passport Specs revealed in Hands-on - Why Microsoft Office and BBM Music will
make the Passport Hip to Be Square”.
This
even as the Apple iPhone is set to launch in the next 2 weeks from now on
Tuesday September 9th 2014, based on numerous sources and Samsung
has already outed the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which surprisingly looks a lot like
the Apple iPhone 5S as concluded on my blog article
entitled “Samsung
Galaxy Alpha with Metallic Band - Last of the 5” smartphones with decreased
Battery Life as the Luddite Camp gets Larger”.
Currently
Blackberry is seeing growth in Developing World Countries like India, China and
the East Indies as I’d pointed out in as noted in my blog article
entitled “Blackberry
blogs positive reviews of Passport as Z3 sells out in India - Blackberry
Passport may be their ticket on the Indian Express”.
If
this is fated to happen in England, a Developed World Country, what of the Rest
of Europe or even other Developed World countries like Australia? Stay tuned
for more as I track the exciting developments in Great Britain as Blackberry
struggles to make a comeback.
