Re: Is Windows Mobile Vanishing?
You guys all talk marketshare as it relates to the Smartphone market and how poorly MS is doing, as well as not appreciating the value of enterprise (business) sales. Windows Mobile was around long before it was used on phones, and still is...big time. A very large percentage of the devices that you see couriers, route sales, and the likes using are Windows Mobile. Not to mention almost all of the Telzon type guns you see people using in all the bigbox stores on a daily basis, that run with WiFi instead of cellular networks. There are millions of these devices in use, and those numbers do not show up. MS is far from dead. It has an extremely large and solid base. You and I just don't see the biggest portion of their business. Throw in Windows CE, the core OS for Windows Mobile, it is everywhere. It is most cars today. It is used in everything from toasters to gas pumps. Consumer sales have never been huge for them, however it does look like they are going to pay much more attention to in the future.
