DISQUS

I really really doubt that the "iPhone now accounts for 16.6 percent of the smartphone market worldwide."

You may have wanted to say 16.6 % of sales, which would still be very much way off. I doubt that they're experiencing sales anywhere near half their US ones on a global scale. People worldwide are just not as taken in by it as the US. Partly because we've long had 'all-singing-all-dancing' phones.

That figure is only correct if some models of smartphone have not been included in those accounts.

Saying that, Windows Mobile has really become so dated that I wonder why MS seem intent on bringing out Windows 7 before it. A failure in mobile is something they may not recover from (in that space). Whereas we all know that Vista is not going to cost them the OS market.
