Hmmm, we have Android, iPhone and RIM so we don't need WP7. I must confess I don't know what crystal ball he uses. Given the choice of RIM, WebOS and WP7, which do you think has the brute capability to push Android and iPhone? RIM, WebOS, nah, I don't think so. Verizon will have WP7 phones, more than one, by end of 2011.
