Global Equities Research has said Google and Apple are to capture so much of the mobile market by the end of 2012 that there won't even be a viable third spot left, eWeek has reported. Apple and Google continue to grow their dominance in the mobile marketplace, having positioned themselves to capture as much as 98% of mobile device sales by the end of 2012. The 98% estimate comes from interviews with 15 iOS and Android developers at several mobile technology conferences, said Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry. "There will not be any third spot left," he said. "Nokia, Microsoft and RIM will struggle in the remaining 2% of the market."
