Microsoft Sets100 M As 2007 Goal For Annual Mobile OS Sales
Microsoft's Steve Ballmer has set the 100M in 2007 goal for the mobile OS division of the company, according to Douglas Dedo a marketing manager at MSFT. Whatever they call it: CE, PocketPC, Pro, Stinger, Smartphone, it's obvious MSFT is serious about the mobile OS space. Despite the 100M target, analysts such as Gartner's Tod Kort expect MSFT to fall somewhere South of that number, which represents essentially all of Gartner's predicted shipments for 2007.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
