Honestly, I don't see how anyone can be anything but bullish on Windows Phone long term. It has the backing of MS, which in itself will guarantee a decent sized user base. Also, a large amount of Android's success is simply because its on cheap phones, and its the only alternative for the "anything but iphone" crowd. Everyone buys an iphone because its an iphone. I would wager the vast majority of Android sales are by default rather than because its an Android. Once windows breaks into this segment we're going to see some big moves in terms of market share.
- snuze 14y agoThe challenge for Microsoft is that Google essentially gives Android away for free. How can Microsoft compete in the cheap phone space, which you admit is a large part of Google's success, when Microsoft keeps charging for their OS?
