Smartphone maker Sony Ericsson, once fully committed to Symbian UIQ interface before going with Windows Mobile on its first XPERIA handset, is now eyeing the burgeoning Android market.According to Sony Ericsson, the company intends on being the number one supplier of Android smartphones in terms of sheer market share, which is quite a lofty goal considering that Sony Ericsson only has a 17 percent worldwide market share for Android handsets, and its X10 Android smartphone, running on Android 1.6, was only recently launched in the U.S. with carrier AT&T.
Sony Ericsson will probably have an uphill battle with its goal. In the U.S., it will have to battle against Motorola and Verizon Wireless for the Droid brand supremacy, and worldwide the maker will need to fight a tough war against HTC with its growing Android portfolio and Samsung with its latest aggressive push behind the Galaxy brand.
