 Wow, The Smartphone Market Is Surprising 
By: Nathan Weinberg 2007-09-11 Now, like any smart company, theyve probably massaged the numbers to make them look as positive as possible, but Im a bit shocked... ...at how different the U.S. market is from the rest of the world. Two things to take away from it: * Now I understand why I know nothing about the Symbian operating system: Nobody has it! * I wouldnt be surprised if other markets have very different definitions of what a smart phone is. In other countries, like Japan, it might mean a phone that can do a million different things, more of a consumer smart phone than a business one. I wonder, if we divided the smart phone market into business and consumer segments wed see a very different chart. Either way, wed probably have to assume that Microsoft has a real long way to go outside the U.S. before Windows Mobile can be considered an international success. At least its doing real well here. Im surprised a bit by the big purple block for Apple after just three months.
