Microsoft Windows Mobile beating iPhone?
eWeek | at | by Mike
Mobile and computer industry research firm IDC published figures showing that Microsoft Windows Mobile is beating iPhone by a wide margin. According to a top Windows Mobile executive, Microsoft shipped some 4.5 million Windows Mobile devices during the first quarter of 2008, up 1.8 million units year-over-year.
The executive, Andy Lees, cited IDG figures showing that Apple sold only 1.8 million iPhones during the same quarter.
Lees, who replaced Pieter Knook earlier this year at the helm of Microsoft's Windows Mobile business, called Windows Mobile a "goldrush of opportunity." Lees was delivering a keynote speech at the company's 2008 Worldwide Partner Conference.
