What is even more amusing is this prognostication from Gartner in April 2011:


Hilarious. . . Gartner was convinced, and argued vociferously that Microsoft phones would be the number 2 smartphones by 2015 with a 19.5% market share and iPhones would be declining starting in 2012. . . and in third place. . . and that RIM would still be a significant player. ROTFLMAO!

I would normally quip that "I'd like to have some of what they were smoking" but in fact it was clearly some pretty bad drugs... that's just so embarrassing it amazes me that they show their faces in public.

I'm reminded of that classic video of Ballmer laughing at the first iPhone that SamAdams76 posted above...
