iPhone tops Windows Mobile in U.S. marketshare for first time

Well that’s a little upsetting. Nice to see BlackBerry raping faces.

I’m not a MSFT hater or anything but with Apple and Google running the show right now, I think its time they either put up or shut up.

I contributed to that number, bought 3 iphones this year

Its because the OS is a joke compared to Android, iPhone and even WebOS.

Even 6.5 has that stupid start button. Everything underneath any flashy UI overlays still look like a Dell Axiom from 1997. Its still Windows CE. Things a BB can do one handed, takes two hands and 6 clicks to get accomplished.

WinMo will need a complete overall before most people will consider it superior over the new Apple, Android, and BB OS. I personally hate having to navigate a WinMo device…makes me want to stab out my eyes with a spork.

I would be interested to see the recent results. There wasn’t too much android device out there during these periods. Now Hero, Droid and Eris out, I want to see the increase in Android share, not that it will cause iPhone share to drop or anything, but still. I think we will see a significant increase, considering the recent boom in Android applications.

This seems to be pretty good news for WM. RIM and Apple appear to be growing at a rapid rate, but WM is still adding users. Not by as much as RIM or Apple, but they are still pushing phones, even though people like to shit on WM. Seems like treading waters is fine until WM7 comes out.

The bigger question is, How is it that everyone is moving more phones, and yet no one is losing any business. Is the dumb phone market dying off.

I wanted to jet the HTC pro 2 but I can’t stand windows mobile. If that phone ran android I would I got one. They need to go into the lab and. Don’t come out Till that got it.

Give Android a couple of year and the number will be a lot different. Android rocks!

WinMo is just like all of the other Windows-based products – unsure of their overall direction.

Until they realize they need a line of phones that is ‘standardized’ across different carriers, they will fail. They also (for who knows what reason) have dropped the front-facing keyboard altogether to compete with Apple, despite RIM/BB lovers standing by that build style.

Idiots.

Next quarter will be huge for android???? How do you figure? Are there 7 million more phones running android somewhere? Once google starts selling their own phone the other pushers are sort of screwed. Google is going to get a handle on their platform and when they do you all will be pissed. Google is a corporation looking to make money. They will make a lot more on their own.

here come the fanboys……

I’m surprised by Palm’s share. I wouldn’t have thought it’d be that high.

For being a dead OS, I am amazed at how many users Windows Mobile still has.

When I looked at the chart What I saw was:
WINDOWS MOBILE TOPS ANDROID BY 600%

Isn’t hat a more dramatic and true heading?

Though I agree witht he assessment of WebOS, the graph doesn’t make sense w.r.t. PALM, IMHO – it shows about 200,000 incremental Palm users for the entire year. That suggests, given Palm’s statement that they sold through 800,000 devices just last quarter (whatever sold through is now known to be mean for Palm…), that Palm LOST 600,000 users.

2 words: User Experience.

For some reason, I though market share is expressed in percent, and total market cannot exceed 100%. I guess, I was wrong. SIN and COS can be 5 and 10, speed of light can be broken…

I love how the full report, raves about how Apple users are using the most bandwidth. But fails to mention that RIM uses data compression which is why it is nearly last out of data sent, despite having 21% of global market share.

comScore needs to up the production value on their charts.

all this is a nod to is that iphones are the new hot consumer phone.. im sure the razr outsold wm as well and they were priced comparable to iphones.. wm was never meant to be a consumer phone.. when the iphone tops wm in corporate accounts that will be somthing to write home about

It is about time!
With great regret, a Palm Pro 850 MS 6.1 owner, but will switch when Apple goes CDMA or maybe even a Google Android !

TThank You

GO GOOGLE!

Why the heck is Google so low in usage? There’s no way Palm is beating it that much, not with WebOS. All Palm operating systems together might be that high, but I find even that hard to believe. I think somebody needs to recheck those stats, because Android is clearly smoking WebOS.

One possible explanation is that the data only goes through October. I think when November and December data rolls around, we’ll see some noticeable changes in those numbers. Verizon’s Android phones are largely popular, and others are picking up speed as well. Add to that holiday sales, and voila, major pickup in Android market share.

Build a phone for iDiots to use, and only iDiots will want to use it. Guess the U.S. consumer got stupider since Apple started plastering its ads everywhere.
