I'm lost in a sea of pointless argument.

The answer to that is yes I do...

M$ - Assets: $86.113 billion (2010) - Equity: $46.175 billion (2010)
Google - Assets: $40.497 billion (2009) - Equity: $36.004 billion (2009)
HP - Assets: $114.799 billion (2009) - Equity: $40.517 billion (2009)
Intel: Assets: $53.095 billion (2009) - Equity: $41.704 billion (2009)
Nokia: Assets: $50.073 billion (2009) - Equity: $20.669 billions (2009)
Apple: Assets: 47.50 billion (2009)- Equity: $31.64 billion (2009)

I mean it doesnt really matter. Within a year or two, aside from Nokia.. Android & Iphone will be #1 and #2. Eventually they WILL catch and pass RIM. If and when the iphone goes to Verizon also the sales will explode again and probably make them #1. MS will bring up the rear and be somewhere behind Android, Iphone & RIM. Anyone that thinks WP7 is going to make THAT dramatic of a difference in sales to pass the iphone, android or RIM now is delusional.

For the most part the customers that MS lost are gone for good. There will be a FEW thatll switch to WP7 but not many.

I don't know boss....this IS Microsoft we're talking about. I think they're gonna come back to the front. At least on the same level as Android and Iphone. Let's also not forget that this is the release version of WP7. It's gonna get better over time. Like i said earlier, this is gonna be good for consumers, b/c now they have to listen to us, or lose market share. Let me go get my whip.... lol

Well... if current sales in the US are any indicator....

I think Q1 of next year will really tell the tale. I know Verizon is going to be pushing Android HARD from here on out and I see Sprint is adding more Android phones to the lineup. But honestly the worst thing WP7 could possibly want is if and when the iphone moves over to Verizon. You think their sales are dominating now... just wait. I think ALL OS are going to take a hit if and when that happens.

I dont think WP7 is going to bomb but they arent going to catch Android, Iphone or RIM. As "fragmented" as Android may be they are pushing out new phones like an army. And one thing I like about them as compared to other OS is how often they update. I've only had my Evo since June and during that time i've had 3-4 pretty good updates.
