iPhone has bigger market share than all Windows Mobile phones, which 
means its much bigger than Symbian and second only to blackberrys in 
the US smartphone market.

Considering that the US is the good market for Windows (elsewhere 
Linux is much bigger), its a bit of a humiliation for Ballmer, but 
whats new.

Of course, the US market is weird, blackberry is an outsider 
everywhere else, and windows pretty unimportant too, with symbian and 
linux much bigger.

I expect most linux manufacturers will go over to android, and 
probably quite a few symbian ones too, so iphone vs android will 
still be the platforms to watch.

Cheers
