Re: Microsoft Windows Mobile and Surface don't have 30% market share!
> 1/3rd ? 30% ? Since when?
Android sold nearly 1.2 billion phones (plus some tablets) last year. Apple sold 230million phones and lots of tablets.
So Windows was around 1/3 of the connected devices.

> Tablet market share for Surface is in the 10% to 15% range.
It is currently less than 10%:
IDC: """with its 8.4 percent market share estimated to grow to 17.5 percent by 2019."""
They predicted that Windows Phone would overtake Apple by 2015 too.
> Smartphone market share for Windows Mobile is around 3% to 4%
It may have been that a couple of years ago, but currently is less than 2% - around 1.7% last quarter by most analysts.
