Handango’s Q1 report reveals platform preferences

For smartphone users, your choice of handset becomes a point of pride and personal identity. Whatever your mobile OS pleasure may be, the handset you choose often dictates the type of third-party software you’ll have access to. Handango, one of the wireless industry’s biggest software retailers, recently released its 1st quarter reports for application sales. The numbers of newly added apps are broken down by platform for easy digestion.

1. Windows Mobile Pocket PC – 843 adds
2. Symbian – 825 adds
3. Windows Mobile Smartphone – 273 adds
4. Palm OS – 253 adds
5. RIM – 203 adds

This list, in many ways, confirms what we already know: The Palm OS is dying out and Windows Mobile/Symbian users like to play with new applications. The top Windows Mobile application: MobiTV.
