Which wouldn't make any sense, since Symbian is above-and-beyond, the leader in this space, with a reported 88% of the market share of "smartphones" running their OS.
"For second-quarter 2004, more than 2.4 million Symbian OS phones shipped vs. 1.36 million Microsoft OS phones and 1.34 PalmSource devices, according to the market research firm. Symbian therefore garnered 41-percent market share, up from 36.5-percent market share in the same period last year Microsoft meanwhile reached 22.9-percent market share against 22.6 percent last year. PalmSource's market share fell from 30.9 percent a year ago to 22.5 percent in the second quarter of this year."
