A recent study by Aberdeen Group examined current and planned enterprise mobile deployments, and though BlackBerry is still the king of the hill, its lead is shrinking. Their projected growth in enterprise is 3% for 2010, while Windows Mobile’s is 7%, which, if accurate, would make it a 77% – 70% race between the two. RIM’s consumer market share has been exploding over the last year, so obviously their attention is just a bit divided, but I doubt they’ll lose their steely grip on enterprise customers.
What’s a bit more interesting I think, is the projected growth for Android – look at that, it’ll nearly triple by next year, and compete with Symbian. I’ve yet to see any really compelling enterprise solutions for Android, but the devices are coming out of the woodwork like nobody’s business, and the consumer appeal that in turn drives enterprise demand (case in point: iPhone) is clearly there. webOS is seeing tragically teeny progress, and with all of these contenders for enterprise mobility, Palm have a hard time carving out a name for themselves.
