Total yes, but this was just for the 4th quarter of '08.
I agree with several people here that if Apple sold their phone on other carriers they'd have smoked Windows Mobile sales. But I don't they're really looking to do that because they make so much money on each sale with the deal they have with at&t.
Some people complain that its not fair to compare the sales of the two because WinMo is on so many different devices and Apple only has 1 device. Well, they're different companies operating on vastly different sales principles. Microsoft has never intended to be a hardware distributor. They make their money from licensing. Apple has their whole iTunes integration where they make their money from. It may not be an apples to apples comparison but its the only thing we can go off of.
