Amid all connected devices, Android should top Windows by 2016 (projection)

A new forecast from IDC looking at all the ways we compute and connect — stationary and on-the-go — dubs Android the soon-to-be king. Android will dominate mobile given its wide accessibility to hardware makers, and mobile will continue to supercede PCs as we’ve known them. (Apple? Destined to remain a fairly distant third. All that proprietary-ness means mountains of cash, but not world domination.)
