TechCrunch did it again. Brutal PR. I mean, 33% (OMG, 33%!!) of a market, which is tiny. In a linked article it says, that nokia sold 1 million (that's rounded up from mentioned .9 mil) devices in Q4. WP7 share is around .5 to 1.5% (range seen on few quickly googled reports).
So, 33% you say?
- nailer 15y agoSure, WP7 isn't much of the market now. The implication is that this is market share of a growing platform. WP7 handsets sell for the same pricepoint as low end Android devices. And, according to most of the reviews, it's a better product. The idea TC has is that Nokia is going to take a lot of those customers.
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoSupported by what? The article was vague, it talked more about the plastic than the apps. What apps? Why did I have to ask that question? Where's any hard data?
- nailer 15y ago> Supported by what? Both sales data, and user agents on the mobile web. This is fairly easily Googlable. > The article was vague, it talked more about the plastic than the apps. What apps? Are you saying app #s would be a more relevant measure of market growth?
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoSo now I do the legwork for articles, instead of the author? Great! "All Minnesotans are stupider than Iowans! Look it up!" Apps may not really be relevant to market grows, but they would be relevant to the article subject, "Welcome back, Nokia". Are they back? Is anybody writing apps for their phone? Why would I want one? All reasonable questions, revolving around apps.
