Symbian still the top mobile OS for 2011 says Stat Counter?

Some details from Statcounter shows Symbian to still be the top mobile OS in 2011 as reported by webpronews.

According to their stats, Symbian started at 30% at the beginning of the year, but it rocketed to 33.58% in June. This dipped in October to 29% but went back up to 33.63%. 

We are not sure precisely what these are percentages of, we are guessing total users as opposed to sales.Nokia’s had a major change of strategy away from a Symbian focus, and also had a pretty poor portfolio compared to the competition – with both of those going against it, it is indeed remarkable to be as strong as statcounter suggests.
