It's been taking lumps for a while now. However, it's not really at the bottom of the marketshare heap. With 20 million units shipped last year, I think they were only behind Nokia's Symbian and RIM's BlackBerry.

Where Windows Mobile is hurting is mind share. On sites like this, and even some generic gadget sites, Windows Mobile gets some buzz, but not like the iPhone or even Android and Palm's WebOS seem to.

With luck WM 6.5 will start to change that and WM 7.0 will put Microsoft back in the buzz game.
