ZDNet Anchordesk has a
commentary by David Coursey asking the simple question "If Microsoft is so invincible, why hasn't it sold more phones running the company's Windows Mobile Smartphone OS?"
"Globally, the Microsoft Web site shows only nine MS-powered Smartphones available. I know there are a bunch more. But, whatever the specific number, the average customer still has a hard time finding a phone with Microsoft inside.
Alex Slawsby, recently promoted to senior analyst at IDC, estimates that Microsoft captures a whopping 3 percent of global handset share, compared to 97 percent for Symbian. From what I can tell, Microsoft is kinda-sorta OK with this state of affairs. For now, anyway."
Do you think Microsoft will eventually lead the cell phone industry?
