I like the following excerpt from this blog


Last month Gartner predicted that Microsoft would have 19.5% of the smartphone market by 2015. There were no such concrete figures and dates this time round, Gartner just said “In the long term, Nokia’s support will accelerate Windows Phone’s momentum.”

I love it when analysts say stuff like this; it sounds all clever but it isn’t actually a prediction that anyone could conceivably show to be false. Even if sales and market share fell, they could say that they meant really long term, and that by momentum they meant downward momentum.
