Things can change in a hurry in this industry, so nothing is a given. But what we do know is iOS's marketshare is plummeting, Blackberry is as good as gone, all but one Android OEM is in serious trouble, and Android's largest and most profitable manufacturer is building a new OS from the ground up.
After the bottom feeders fail, the rest are setting themselves up to be a one-stop digital ecosystem provider. In this sense, Microsoft is in a very strong position. The phones themselves are becoming secondary as the technology matures.
