In 2015: Android first, Windows Phone second, iPhone third

lol , awesome.

IMO this is logical I see ANdroid #1 and iPhone last

Microsoft??? I thought their Phone7 sales were sluggish, which was expected, because the WP7 OS is complete crap. This article is a paid advertisement from Microsoft!!! Don't believe anything they say.

I don't know why they so favor Windows phone after so many missteps (with exception of Windows 7). I wonder if they picked Betamax over VHS or 8 track over cassette or PS/2 architecture over PCI, or OS/2 over NT.

Keep in mind things like:

Apple Fan Boy!

All the mac haters are at it again... time and time again they are being counted out yet always seem to push innovation... I will be laughing 4 years from now when an article states how windows phone was yet another flop by microsoft

Making predictions is good for a few ad impressions but otherwise just silly. Here's a few I've seen over the years for your next "where are they now?" article.

"Linux is fast becoming a viable Windows challenger"

Windows' reach assures that IE will dominate browser market share

"A phone without a keypad is limited to a niche audience"

android will dominate the market forsure and whoever thinks they wont is a pure dummmy because apple doesnt share there own operating system like google does..80 percent of every smartphone that comes out is google android operated..and once when those new android 3d phones that dont require 3d glasses come out later this year apple is gonna get smashed by google...to be honest i dont see why apple has becomed so sucsessful in the smartphone market the media hypes them up to much

Actually smart phones were out since at least 1997. I had a palm phone made by sprint running palm os back then.

Edit, my palm phone was made by samsung, not sprint, sprint was the exclusive carrier.

Apple is not sleeping you know (unlike MS)?

So my bet would be:

1. Apple with all sorts of users - cause it's so easy to use and you have everything you need! Plus the the new iOS and the cloud base storage.
2. Android with some techie users who want to experiment - a bit limited market share i guess. But can still can dominate the market as anyone (manufacturers) can use android OS.
3. Blackberry - focusing mainly on Enterprise.
4. Windows - already out of touch with the mobile market but still has potential.

This is my opinion.

Problem with apple fan boys are same like console players. They think they are running a great product with some incredible speed (marketing) better than PC. But these gamers never played anything with 80+ FPS so when I sat down front of console I saw many times barely making 24+ FPS.

Same with iPhone. Tried many and noticed some speed problems, but lame users can not notice, indeed when you show an android with homepage widgets + how fast it is, they are wondering maybe there is something beyond apple.

As a user of both an Apple iPhone 3g and a Samsung Galaxy S, I believe both devices and both OS have their merits, I haven't played with a phone with W7 on it but use W7 on all my computers.

Atthe end of the day its all a matter of horses for courses and I think this slagging off of products and operating systems is childish and non productive.

I would rather a advantages of thses things were talked about to allow people to make a much more informed decision before purchasing these items in difficult financial climate.

Have you even tried WP? I very much doubt it. Its performance isn't bad, and interface feels lot more responsive and at least onpart with iOS and better than pathetically cheap imitated interface (of iOS) which Android has (although I must say it is totally different OS/business model).

Same observation as above, with addition that someone near you is probably smoking pot which is blurring reality.

On the contrary Blackberry i.e. RIM is in danger of becoming irrelevant. We had very large number of employees using blackerry in our organization two years ago, now there are only 7 (and RIM is suffering everwhere and I am not interested to talk about NOT so BOLD's new launch); which tells alot about what is happening to them. I don't think this trend will reverse or even change. Guess where most of the users went? 1. WP7, 2. iPhone, and 3. Android; infact I am the only one using it which makes the 3rd position pretty hollow anyway. Also, it will probably be my first and last Android device, having gone through so much pain to make it 'just work' and not constantly crash has pretty much sealed the deal for me for any future purchase.

Wow, I thought I had to visit Youtube to see so many *****ic comments. I would offer my opinion but I feel it would be a severe waste of time.

Windows Phone never will be the second.
Never.

but this sounds right, android has new things everyday, WP7 is sweet, ios is popular, others are meh.

The world is going to end next year so i dont see how you can figure this....

i have a windows phone for the HTC pure on ATT and it wokrs wonderfully the only downside is i dont hvae that many apps unless i pay alot. it really is a nice phone and i did pick it over the iphone. This phone does more for me than anything i transfer files and much more with it i can run a power point on it lets see any other phone do that.
