Mobile OS

Did you know that there are 30 mobile platforms that came and went in the last two decades?

The November, 2011 study called Clash of the Ecosystems is an exhaustive 60-page report on the subject, while Developer Economics 2012 breaks down the new app economy. This infographic from Vision Mobile comes to use via Seattle Nissan and explores “Mobile Ecosystems”. Click to enlarge.
