Windows Mobile phones boom, despite small market share July 25, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. Progress of Windows Mobile is significant.... and financial results report is confirming it. Obviously in global smartphone market the market share of Windows Mobile still is tiny - less than 10% compared to over 80% of market share of Symbian... so there's a lot of work for Microsoft to do! Intrestingly Windows Mobile phones already are totally dominating the revenues and Windows Mobile PDAs are just a tiny part of the mobile business of Microsoft... We are also very pleased that both the Microsoft Business Solutions and the Mobile and Embedded Devices businesses achieved profitability for the full fiscal year.” [...] licenses for Windows Mobile-based phones grew by 90% in fiscal year 2006. Original source of this story: Microsoft Reports. Please note: by the end of this year Microsoft is rolling out the Zune project, which is designed to be serious challenge for Apple iPod at last... however it is still unclear whether and how the Zune set of programs, devices and services will be co-operating with Windows Mobile! In ideal case Zune software/services will be available also for Windows Mobile, in worst case Zune services will not be accessible at all from Windows Mobile devices...
