Its marketshare has more than doubled in most markets

I'm sorry but you can say what you want.... its a fact.  In a rising market thats impressive, the absolute numbers wil be up by more than double

To say it isn't impressive is churlish.

But then you like to downplay windows mobile for some odd reason.

4 times the sales.... of what 4 overall in the beginning? I hate when PR firms use things like "n times" or "% increase"... I want raw numbers.

WinPhone was selling like real crap. After all, they were barely 1% of the entire market previously. So a "4 times" increase is what... 2% of the market? While I'm sure any uptick is good for the company and frankly their new commercials are really done well. But until I see them hitting 10% of the market... they are still dead.

 

well they now are managing 10% of the market in many Euro countries recently so... not dead then?

You used an old quote of mine that is still relavant.. you're still using % and doubling etc... not real numbers. 

FACT is Android, which is a lot larger and takes a lot more sales to increase a market %, still more than doubled Windows market % growth in the same time frame.

Any growth is good, but going crazy about it at this point is meh.
