>FWIW, I agree with the European telephony providers that we *want* a strong WP7: we know how corporates behave when they achieve dominance so it benefits all of us to have iOS and WP7 snapping at Google's heels. But I don't agree that simply declaring WP7 success will cause it to be true. Every day of status quo sees Android pulling further ahead and if Nokia's first WP7 device is due in February 2012, catching up before 2013 seems to exceed the predicted size of the world market. Attack the messenger all you like, but that's the fact of it.


If you believe those numbers... 2.8 million activations a week * 52 weeks = 145 million a year * 3 years = 435 million activations... enough to give everyone in the US a phone ( man, woman and child), and still have enough left over to give another one to every male. Balderdash.... the numbers just don't hold up..
