Is there room in the smartphone market for WinPho7?
The most popular smartphones are the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android.
iPhone's strength: style, consistency. Weakness: restricted
Android's strength: openness freedom. Weakness: inconsistent, can be preloaded with crap.
Blackberry's strength: function, security, integration of applications into each other. Weakness: recently has rushed products to the market. RIM is currently reinventing the Blackberry.
The problem is that Microsoft is Microsoft is planning on bringing out Windows Phone 7 which adds a new contestant to the flay.
No I don't know about you but from what I've seen the average consumer has a hard time differencing between two smartphone OSs, let alone three or four. Not to mention that application developers will probably only develop for one or two handsets usually.
So my question is: Which OSs will win and which will fade?
