Windows Mobile losing marketshare

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - August 16, 2009


According to this article Windows Mobile is losing marketshare. It's a real shame because Microsoft was in a dominant position. It's almost as if they don't care because they've done little to compete with RIM and Apple. Most people these days tend to carry BlackBerrys and iPhones.

We still like Windows Mobile. C'mon Microsoft, get kickin!

"Microsoft's mobile market share continues to drop year-on-year, according to data released by Gartner. Smartphone sales were up to 41.0 million in 2Q09, a 27 percent increase over 2Q08's 32.3 million. Windows Mobile, however, only managed to grab 3.81 million of those units in 2Q09, or about 9.3 percent. The number of units wasn't much of a drop from 2Q08, where they booked 3.87 million sales. But the segment was smaller then, and that was was good enough for 12 percent of the market in 2Q08; given the growth of smartphone sales, the drop has to be very disappointing."
