winmo is dead. Symbain has a huge lead due to years and years at the top. But iPhone and Rim growth will catch it. Symbain=dead as Nokia tries to support multiple platforms...

As for gaming tie in, yes Micrsoft may have to move Xbox and the entertainment division somewhere else to maintain illusion of profitability. In the last two years, higher 360 sales have led to higher losses (ie they are still losing money on each 360, despite well placed rumours to the contrary). They could throw the Live subscription revenue into the other MS Live efforts (live mail, live messenger, etc), that would make them profitable. And maybe throw Bing ad revenue into the ent and home division to keep it profitable.

Anecdotes on hardware: MSFT HW on windows7=trouble. Logitech =troublefree.

even if u put apple and rim together, they are not able to pass nokia alone in marketshare.

i don't see this happening even if all american blogs want it to happen. nokia WW too big.

and symbian fundantion it's not only nokia, but SE, Samsung, LG. etc.

at any rate symbian marketshare will split. but it wont be blackberry or the iphone but own nokia maemo.
