It does, but the title says "Quarterly Shares of Mobile Operating Systems" and I have no doubt MS overall had 10% share of moblie operating systems. But in 2003, not sure how many of MS's devices were phone enabled. I know on the Pocket PC side of things, the phone devices were the small piece of the pie with devices like the iPAQ 2215 and Dell X-30 devices were the lions share of the market.

I was hoping to see some of the commentary with those stats to make them meaningful.

Numbers are from Canalys (www.canalys.com). Published every quarter.

The numbers exclude any non-cellular devices. In other words, Canalys classifies "handhelds" separately. These shares are for "wireless handhelds and smartphones" combined.
