>You've made the point that markets are finite: with observers saying that Android will hit 1 million daily activations by 2013, why exactly will these people swap to WP? I'm not disagreeing, I'm saying that there will need to be a compelling proposition to draw people away from the dominant Android. What is it?

>>>Googles fragmentation problems and lawsuit problems are just the tip of the iceberg. MS did this exact same thing from 1999 - 2008. The were predominant in the market until the fragmentation bit them in the a**. Unless google switches directions, its inevitable that MS or another yet unamed entry will overtake them.

You're throwing around numbers as if they are fact. 1 million a day? please... there's not enough people in the world to sustain that kind of growth. Any way I'm done with this exercise in who has the bigger wang. I'll wait until the market shows the clear winner. See you in about 2015...
