Microsoft + Nokia = a Challenge for Apple

As a result, according to IDC predictions for 2015, Windows Phone 7 will occupy second place, at 20.9 percent of the market, ahead of iOS, which is projected to stay near 15 percent. BlackBerry, then as now, would be No. 4.
(In the United States alone, IDC expects Windows Phone 7 to jump to third place by 2015, at 15.6 percent, behind Android, at 48.9 percent, and iOS, at 16.8.)
Despite its recent worries, Nokia remains the largest phone manufacturer in the world, and it has no equal in building handsets inexpensively. Last year, it sold more than 452 million phones, including 100 million smartphones.

　IDCによると2015年にはウィンドウズのスマートフォンOSは第二位になるらしい。どうなのかな。変化のスピードが速くなるから、一抜けした人とフォローした人との格差が大きくなる社会になっているような気がします。
