>>WP7 is innovative, fresh and will be the dominate platform soon (Gartner and boys say by 2015; I don't think it will take that long.

Gartner says that Android will continue to dominate in 2015 with more than double WP7's market share.

>>Its grown 2% market share in 3 months and will keep rising).

I hope so- but since we last discussed this, Android moved from 200,000 to 300,000 activations per day and probably more by now. Those figures point to a market rout and if Android becomes as dominant as predicted, we *know* that the cutsie Android robot will turn on us because that's what corporates do. I'm really hoping that MS and Apple will be snapping at Google's heels.

>>The Nokia deal is a killer and when we start flooding the world with windows phone, things will onlly get better.

Well I hope so, but not everybody is so confident. Nokia frittered away an enormous lead by disappointing millions of loyal customers. Many of those who remained loyal in Europe invested heavily in business apps for Symbian so who knows what they're thinking now. IMHO we can't assume even that Nokia's existing customers will remain let alone that more will come flooding back. IMHO MS/Nokia need to try to incentivize the telephony providers to bundle WP7 phones, since that's how many of the Android activations are occurring today. They'd better hurry up- at present Android is predicted to grow to and then maintain around 50% of mobile market share by 2013.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
