Windows Phone to Leapfrog iPhone by 2015
Could happen. Maybe... if you believe in witches and goblins that is.
Microsoft's Windows Phone will overtake Apple's iOS in terms of smartphone operating system market share by 2015, IHS iSuppli forecasted Tuesday. The industry research firm believes the partnership between Microsoft and Nokia will help propel Windows Phone from just a 1.9 percent share of the smartphone market last year to the No. 2 spot behind Google's Android in just a few short years.
"With the introduction of its critically acclaimed Lumia 900, Nokia has set the stage to regain some of its lost smartphone market share—and to re-establish Microsoft Windows Phone as a leading contender in the cellphone operating system (OS) business," IHS analyst Wayne Lam wrote in a January research note that's making the rounds this week.
