"ill take windows phone 7 over any of these"

Just as an FYI - Windows Phone 7 isn't available yet. I'd recommend waiting until the actual devices arrive before making a judgment on how good/bad they are, particularly relative to whatever else is available at the time. Much like with movie trailers, the preview often looks much better than the real thing...]]>May 19th 2010 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/May 19th 2010 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/Forget I asked.

These are pretty easy results to interpret:

- Apple and Android (HTC + Motorola) both gained in market share
- Their growth came at the expense of RIM, "Linux" and Windows Mobile
- Nokia grew with the rest of the industry, kept constant market share

No major flamewar material. The current WinMo platform is approaching the end of the line. Smartphone business is consolidating marketshare in to a few platforms, so people are going with one of the big names (Apple, Android, RIM, Nokia) rather than a smaller platform ("Linux", whatever that means).]]>May 19th 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/
Nokia amazes me...They have so much marketshare that with new Symbian^3 and ^4 on the way, as well as possible Intel-based MeeGo devices, they will see even more growth...I can see Apple capping at 20%, when iPhone OS4 releases enterprise and corporate features...RIM at 20% as wel...with Android at 20%...Nokia STILL at 40%...

That is the future if WinPhone7 did not exist...WP7 disturbes the balance... :D]]>May 19th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/May 19th 2010 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/May 19th 2010 5:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/idc-and-gartner-award-smartphone-growth-prizes-to-apple-and-goog/

thats the joke...
engadget said that apple had grown from 10.5 to 9.6, so he made a tounge in cheek comment on how it actually shrank from 10.5 to 15.whatever%
