Moblin and Maemo will reign at the MID market in 2013

13th October 2008

The research company ABI Research has published a report on open-source operating systems at the market of mobile internet devices, which predicts the dominance of Linux-platforms Moblin and Maemo by 2013.
ABI experts expect that sales of ultra-mobile devices, including MID and net-books, will grow from 10 million copies in 2008 to more than 200 million copies in 2013 and yield profits of $27 billion. ABI also supposes that the number of ultra-mobile devices sold by that time will be almost equal to the number of laptops sold.
ABIâ€™s forecast predicts to the operating system GNU/Linux a great share at the MID market, although no exact percentage is quoted. But there are precise forecasts for the percentage of the Linux-platform Intel Moblin: 42%. The second place, according to ABI, is given to another Linux-system, Nokia Maemo, which is now used on the Internet-pads like Nokia N810. The third place goes to the mobile Linux-platform LiMo Platform.
