MWC 2011: HTC, Android generating most buzz at Mobile World Congress
Wondering just which revelations at 2011's Mobile World Congress have gone down the best with attendees while you're stuck in the rain sodden UK?

Webtrends has served up what it believes is an accurate reflection of the buzz following the second day of the Spanish extravaganza.

According to the latest analytics by the firm – as detailed by UK publisher Connect2Media – HTC has stolen much of the limelight following the unveiling of a refreshed Android line-up, including its forthcoming stylus-enabled tablet Flyer.

Buzz battlesBoth LG and Samsung are also generating much chatter following their own press conferences, with Motorola – which announced its own Android tablet, Xoom, long before MWC 2011 – coming bottom of the pile.



When it comes to platforms, Android is generating what Webtrends believes to be more than 62 percent of the buzz.

However, perhaps owing to Nokia's strategic partnership with Microsoft, Windows Phone 7 is reportedly being talked about more than iOS in Barcelona, taking roughly 20 percent of the pie.



The OS it's set to replace on Nokia's books – Symbian – comes a far off fourth, with just over 2 percent of attendees' attention.
