I am no certain how can you make this judgement given that Android existed only for about 10 years (OK, 12 - I just checked)

- oblio 6y agoIt's a prediction.
- oblio 6y agoOh, and as a side comment. Which free/cheap/reasonably priced dominant OS died while its platform was still alive? zOS is still the dominant OS for mainframes (60 years later!), MS-DOS was replaced by a product from the same company, Windows, that is still the dominant OS for desktops (30 years later). I don't see anything on the horizon that threatens zOS, nor Windows. Except their platforms disappearing, which is still at least 10-20 years from happening. iOS is the dominant OS for its platform and Apple won't abandon it until the platform dies (I guess once we have wearables that completely replace smartphones?), Android is the dominant OS for all other smartphones. Microsoft poured billions into creating a smartphone app ecosystem and failed. Blackberry, Palm, Nokia, Amazon tried and failed. How, pray tell, would Android die if smartphones are still popular? The Google moat is HUGE.
