Microsoft Faces Phone Annihilation

Nomura Securities latest mobile OS software market share research predicts that by 2005 Symbian will have a 95 percent share of the smartphone market while Microsoft will have a 5 precent share at best. I’m not sure what logic is behind this prediction, but anyone who counts MS out of a market they’ve set their sights on is going to eat their words. Maybe Nomura is just talking about Finland, not the worldwide market.
