The 2010 edition of the Mobile World Congress has begun!

This year, the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona opens in a crisis situation: although smartphones sales are growing: global sales of mobile phones fell for the first time in 2009.

The major trends of the show will be smartphones but also the mobile operating systems.

First, there is the up coming Windows Mobile 7, that should be submitted today and should reach the market later this year.

Windows Mobile 6.5 has disappointed many users and Microsofr should improve. Last year, the U.S publisher mocked Android, the Google OS. He believed that Goggle would never take market share. But in 2010, the Microsoft mobile’s OS has stalled despite that it’s still the first; Android advance rapidly. So, Microsoft has to make an offensive-cons…

This appears to be a challenge for Microsoft, because Android will be present in Barcelona. In spite of the fact that in 2009 there was only one Android smartphone, today all manufacturers developed a range of smartphones under Android, like HTC and LG.

On the other hand, Samsung Bada will be presented. It’s an operating system by the iPhone, now the smartphone Samsung Wave will be under this OS.

Finally, rumors are circulating around the fact that Nokia hasn’t any booth at the 3GSM. However, the Finnish mobile phone giant has built its meeting booth outside the show.
