Londont, United Kingdom, September 14, 2012 --(PR.com)-- When smartphones were niche enterprise tools, Windows mobile ruled the roost, commanding a 42% market share in 2007. However, the iPhone delivered a smooth, intuitive UI at an affordable price and drove broad consumer demand for smart devices. iOS and Android have since held a duopoly on the mobile market.
Microsoft is strategically positioning itself for re-emergence on a global scale. As Windows 8 hits the market, so will top-of-the-line Windows smartphones and tablets from the world’s foremost equipment manufacturers.
