Windows Phone 7 is still new to the market as we know. HTC and Samsung both are really excited about this new contender in the phone world. It is still unknown though if Microsoft’s Mobile fame comes back and they become the top dog; but these device manufacturues are getting more and more excited as the days go by; placing bigger bets on the Windows Phone 7 card.
In a recent interview with AsiaOne, HTC Thailand manager Nattawat Woranopaku said “HTC will be focused both on Android and Windows Phone 7 based smart phones. These platforms have the biggest potential market.” It is expected by 2012 that the combination of Android and WP7 will be the vast majority of the world’s smart-phone market. The Taiwanese company already has five Windows Phone 7 devices, and we can expect even more to be released in the coming year.
Now for Samsung…They seem to have gone balls to the walls when it comes to Microsoft’s new mobile platform as Sitthichoke Nopchinabutr, head of mobile marketing in Thai Samsung Electronics’ Telecommunication Unit, mentioned that they will introduce 15 to 20 new smartphone models — take that for a near future line-up — using Windows Phone 7, and Android as well as its own “Bada” operating system. “For every 50 smartphones using Windows, it will make 24 using Android and five using Bada”. Just for the sake of numbers, that’s 63.3% for Windows Phone 7, 30.4% for Android and 6.3% for Bada. With the Korean company already on a winning streak with the Galaxy S (and who knows about the refresh or the Nexus S), we might expect some great Windows Phone 7 hardware to arrive next year.
