    Symbian is certainly the most popular OS out there, dwarfing the rest of the competition. But, its market share is dwindling and 2009 could be the first year where Symbian occupies less than half of the market, down from a 73 percent share of the pie back in 2006. Latest figures also showed a falling royalty per phone which is largely academic now that it will be a not-for-profit. Still, it does show the work that remains to be done in the face of rivals like the iPhone, Android or RIM.
