Report Examines Microsoft's Smartphone OS Market Position
There is another market share report out, this time by a company called Research and Markets Ltd. This report is much more pro-Microsoft than a lot of the other reports.
"Market analyst firm Research and Markets Ltd. released a report today which suggests that while Microsoft's Smartphone software platform is having some difficulty gaining traction in the mobile phone market, Microsoft should not be counted out just yet. The report, titled Microsoft Smartphone: the entry strategy, chances of success, and the impact Smartphone will have on the handset industry and Microsoft's balance sheet, estimates that while only 1.6 million Smartphone-based handsets will be sold in 2003, representing just 0.4 percent of the total handset market, this figure will rise to 28 million units in 2005, or 5.8 percent of the total handset market."
