Here’s my personal opinion...

Projecting something as definitive as that four years into the future in a volatile, changeable market is often a fool’s game.

I don’t like Apple, Google or MS but of three MS is the most acceptable. So I will switch from android to windows at some point.

When Microsoft recently had it’s big promo at the latest mobile, or whatever conference, it had a graphic hinting that Window phones are going to come in several forms.

So, it’s not impossible since the iPhone only comes in one form.

I went from Palm Treo Pro with Window Mobile, to HTC Evo 4G and skipped iPhone entirely.

The idea Windows would jump right in and be able to market themselves into a top 3 position doesn’t surprise me, in view of 1.8 billion phones to be shipped in a year.

But I read user and technical reports, and only went to the HTC when they clearly said it was tops.

A few bad reviews and millions of $$ might be wasted by Microsoft, a company with very uneven performance, despite their size.

> "That growth should bring Windows Phone 19.2% of the market by 2016, which would place it above Apple's iOS, which IDC expects will suffer a slight drop in market share and land at 19%."

Really now??

3-digit precision on numbers four years in the future??

These idiots are nothing but wankers, playing with themselves and seeing how high it hits on the wall, measured in inches.

Good lord, does anyone check them four years later to see if Windows Phone, or for that matter iOS, is even still in the market??

I’ve used a Windows phone before. Heck no it wont surpass Apple. I hated that clunky interface and it’s lack if quality apps.

In the last year+, my immediate family has given up an iPhone and two Blackberrys for WP7 phones. Best phone choice we've made to this point.

I have zero desire to have an Android phone. However, when iPhone5 meets Nokia's WP8 in the next year or so, we'll have to reevaluate.
