iPhone Usage Overtakes WinMo in U.S.
Techtree News Staff, Dec 17, 2009 1619 hrs ISTSays comScore
According to the latest comScore data, the iPhone has, for the first time, overtaken Windows Mobile usage in U.S. The data, which measures the total number of smartphones currently in use, shows that the iPhone OS (and with it, the iPhone) has surpassed the number of WinMo devices out there in the U.S.
The latest data is for a three-month period that ended in October and as mentioned earlier, things ain't looking good for the folks over at Redmond. With no sign of WinMo 7 anywhere near the horizon, this trend is likely to continue for the months to come. If that wasn't all, there is the impending thought of WinMo 7 turning out to be a damp squib - unless of course it is truly spectacular.
Now, apart from the iPhone threat, there is impending danger of the Android and Palm OS'es gaining ground and closing in on WinMo's steadily tumbling market share. With the Google Nexus too now in the fray, looks like Microsoft will need to ensure that WinMo 7 turns out to be one cracker of an OS to be able to regain some lost glory.
