Android Most Popular Platform, But Not The Most Profitable

"The research firm Canalys is reporting that Google's Android platform is now more popular than Nokia's Symbian platform, earning it the spot as the top smartphone platform on the market during the fourth quarter of 2010."
Looks like RIM and Nokia are the big losers with this info if you base it on number of shipments, however if you are talking growth Microsoft led the losers with -20.3% growth in market share. Ouch. Apple shouldn't be too sad though since they almost doubled their shipments, and according to another article are still pulling in 51% of the profits.
