A Canadian (you know, the country which is home to RIM) newspaper proclaims that Android's surging popularity is short lived.

Five Reasons Android has peaked
Lol i didnt read it either but this makes me think: If your off during summer means your a student. Students nowadays are highertech and have to buy a phone. All my buds have an android or iphone. (i hit him when i saw it....[talking about the iphone here])don't even have to read the article
Android is picking up and everyone is anxious to see what Google does next.
if anything it's Blackberry's last hurrah
Lol, What a fine opinion, Well done.What do I think?
Thisdon't even have to read the article
Well said good sir. Well said.webOS is only a "threat" to Android if HP really helps Palm push webOS 2.0 devices. With newer, better-looking form factors, webOS has a chance... but otherwise, Android has huge momentum and the iPhone still has the attention of many. The Pre Plus and Pixi Plus didn't do so hot on AT&T and Verizon, remember?
Nokia doesn't stand a chance in the U.S. market without getting app developers on board with their platforms. MeeGo is amazing, and Nokia's new N9 looks awesome, but without the proper app support, it's not going to take off. iPhone and Android have shown us that apps make the smartphone nowadays.
Windows Phone 7 is interesting, and it's clear that Microsoft is going to push forward heavily with this. Since Microsoft is paying developers for apps, I think this and a CDMA iPhone are the only real "threats" to Android on the author's list.
RIM? Hah. OS6 still isn't great, RIM hasn't really been gaining much market share. Why does this author think the Torch suddenly changes everything. BB OS 6 is more of the same, and it still needs drastic improvements to compete with the other smartphone OSes.
I read it, but some of the comments (like the Nokia MeeGo) is more of a "gonna happen." Another example:
Android's greatest threat is that the iPhone moves to Verizon in the U.S....But Android has been seen as the iPhone alternative. If Verizon has the iPhone, it won't need as strong an alternative.
They're basically saying the only reason people buy Androids is because they're on Verizon and can't get an iPhone.

Well they can't speak for everyone. I didn't buy a Droid because the iPhone wasn't on Verizon. I had the choice to pick either carrier/platform and I went with the Droid because the OS appealed to me more than iOS. Carriers weren't an issue because both Verizon and AT&T (as well as T-Mobile & Sprint) have good coverage in my area.
