First iPhone, now Droid. Who needs Windows?

If the iPhone does not stop Windows Mobile in the smartphone market, the Motorola Droid.

Windows Mobile has lost the last vestiges of its mojo - if it did not at first - like the droid, and other phones on the operating system, Android 2.0 Push the needle counter buzz in the red zone. Many in the media - can play a major role in directing the user to a technology platform or another - which means, on the Windows Mobile has now decided is the status had been banished.

Let the single screen, which some in the press, now that we are at the beginning of the era Droid. A message on SFGate.com (website of the San Francisco Chronicle), like other reviews there, clearly opposed by Windows Mobile. "Oddly enough, Microsoft is nowhere to be seen in this battle royal," says the author, based on the iPhone and Android.

And there is more devastating to this comment to a blog SeattlePI.com. "Seldom mentioned, however, another player on the mobile OS market - Microsoft. Pourquoi pas?" Car peu de gens semblent dans le monde Smartphone vraiment foutre sur Windows Mobile ne peut plus ».

The litany of similar goods is long. This post on PC World asks: "Microsoft has put its burden Mobile bet? The article cites research from Canalys shows Windows Mobile slipping from 13.9 percent of the smartphone market worldwide in 2002 to 9 per cent in the second quarter of 2009.

The figures are also in a less favorable accounting AdMob Ad Service, which creates the data on which operating systems are in use on mobile devices that access online ads. In August, according to AdMob, Windows Mobile had only 4 percent of worldwide mobile operating system, compared to 7 percent in February.

But getting back to my original premise of no mobile mojo for Windows. The fact is that consumers do not care about Windows smartphones. In other words, while Windows seems to be a prerequisite for many consumers when they buy a PC, it simply did not play on a large scale in a smart purchase.

This will have an impact on Microsoft, of course. Companies such as Toshiba (and attractive smartphone TG01) is probably not as much success on Windows Mobile, so to speak () are also in Android 2.0. Or at least not the money needed.

Then there's the Intel-factor. Intel also wants a player is finally on the smartphone space. If she is actually able to fly back from Texas Instruments (the chip used in the Droid), Samsung (iPhone), Qualcomm (BlackBerry) and Marvell, it is not likely to do when I press proven "Wintel" combination that has so shamelessly success in the PC space.

And Intel chases a fast moving target. IT and every other arm-based provider of chips listed above are set out for dual-core models can pick up speed as high as 2GHz (think tablets the next generation of media and platelets). In other words, they are also able to take the desired speed on the mantle of mobile phones, like the droid, where Windows Mobile is not in sight.

Thus, the droid may not be the iPhone killer, but the Windows Mobile Slayer. Microsoft will of course always free PC impregnable. But wait, this is not coming to Android Netbooks next year? Perhaps there is a real battle royal for Microsoft is yet to come.(cnet)
