The 100 million club

Being working in a mobile software development field, I'm always enthusiastic about software products which is extremely successful.

Today, I happened to come across an article "The 100 million Club" which lists down the software products which have been embedded on more than 100 million embedded devices.
  • I was quite surprised to see that Flashlite is getting embedded in huge numbers of devices. (May be its time for me/other mobile developers to get acquainted with Flashlite. New oppurtunity might be hidden).
  • The number one position goes to "T9". If the Nuance successfully acquires some Zi Corporation, then Nuance would get a near monopoly in the mobile text input software. (I wish to create a product which achieves near monopoly).
  • ENEA OSE & Mentor Graphics Nucleus has been shipped in more than the Symbian devices. May be, next year, lot of Android devices would get shipped & Android would also find a place in 100 million club.
  • Happy to see that Qualcomm BREW (the platform in which I work) is also in the top 25 products.
Apart from the above list, Vision mobile has compiled a pretty good atlas(!) of all mobile software products.
