Google's Android ran 69 per cent of all handsets sold last year and Apple's iOS 22 per cent, said a study by independent analysts Canalys. Analysts say the two leaders will still dominate the market in 2013 although there could be room for a third player. There are several operating systems vying for that number-three spot, however, including Microsoft's Windows Phone, Blackberry, Firefox and Samsung's open-source project Tizen. –AFP
