I just read a report from Eweek.com claiming that Windows Mobile was beating out the iPhone. The article quotes a top Windows Mobile executive that they shipped some 4.5 million Windows Mobile devices during the first quarter of 2008, up 1.8 million units.
They cite IDG figures showing that Apple sold only 1.8 million iPhones during the same quarter.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Windows Mobile was outselling the iPhone, after all it has been more useful as a business tool. I wonder how those numbers will look next quarter now that Apple has released the newer version of the iPhone with more business tools becoming available. Its popularity is akin to the iPod and its becoming almost a fashion statement for the well dressed geek. Even Norman stood in line to get one!
State your preference! Are you an iPhone lover or Windows Mobile driver?
