Yes, Android has taken a huge part of the phone market.  Mostly in mid-
range and low-end phones.  But I wasn't talking about market share since 
market share is nearly meaningless to a company when they start counting 
the money.

And when they do that and see how much of their 'revenue' actually stayed 
in their hands, profit IOW in case you didn't know, they find that if 
they aren't Samsung they got fucked!  And even Samsung is feeling the 
pain as sales are lower as are profits.  They are getting hammered at the 
high end by Apple and at the low end by the Chinese brands.

And yeah, WP has a small market share though there are pockets that they 
are doing better in.  That may or may not change going forward, but I 
think MS is making some good moves in phone space.  Now they need to 
figure out how to get developers, especially those doing 'corporate' type 
apps to do some for WP.
