Windows Phone 7: Number 2 by 2015? Really?
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 04/01/2011 10:16 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
IDC's surprising forecast that Windows Phone will surge to second place in global smartphone OSes by 2015 -- up from its current fifth place standing -- has some support from other analysts.
From PCWorld:
Windows Phone 7: Number 2 by 2015? Really?
While several called IDC's Tuesday forecast "optimistic" for Microsoft's Windows Phone OS, they didn't entirely dismiss the prediction.
The main reason the forecast has some weight is because Nokia, now partnered with Microsoft on Windows Phone, distributed 36% of the 303 million smartphones shipped globally in 2010, according to IDC figures. That share makes Nokia by far the biggest smartphone maker, even though it is relatively unknown in the U.S.
