Microsoft's Steve Ballmer on smartphone application platforms
In Ballmer: Life after Vista Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, gives his view of Microsoft's role in the smartphone application platform market.
He almost makes it sound like Windows Mobile is dominating in smartphones, which is of course not the case. He's right though that Symbian OS / Series 60 and Windows Mobile are the most general (and also consistent; my comment) application platforms for smartphones. He avoids mentioning that Series 60 is way more popular than Windows Mobile, and that Java ME is available in pretty much all new phones.
