The mobile market is de-facto an oligarchy. Android and iOS control everything really. It would be like only having two national airlines. Sure, there are others, but they only do little routes here and there and if you want to go NYC/LA non-stop among many other routes, you have 'no choice'.
It's a new and developing market, and generally it would be nice to let things play out, but, there probably has to be anti-trust action of some kind.
In particular, it's not quite right to think of them as 'devices' or 'os's' - it's about 'all the other stuff' i.e. mapping, search etc..
