I still think MS has the potential to be the biggest cellphone maker and tablet maker. But boy they have BBBBAAAADDDD marketing and advertising campaigns. They have the largest social networks under there belts Live (messenger+hotmail+xbox), Skype, and in a way Facebook. The biggest gaming platforms with Xbox + PCs. I've used the windows phone for a bit and its nicer than either Android and iOS IMO. I would consider one if I wasn't running a complete Apple suite now. Google may have just truly opened up the market for competition buying Motorola and annoying its Android partners. Plus there is the whole patent payout weighting they are adding to Android (I assume to make it more costly than manufacturing with win7). They have Nokia, they have all the ARM work ready to go. They have the enterprise, and if they can make phones work like a dream in the enterprise I'm sure companies would like at using there existing MS skill set to look after them as well. Taking note that lots of people I know have smart phones issued by company rather than buying them personally. Windows 8 demo's look really good from a touch interface perspective. The demo'd Win 8 UI looks like it would be nice on a tablet, weird on a desktop without something like the apple track pad, but still nice. But they need a new marketing company sooooooo bad. One that knows consumers and not the enterprise.
