>Of course, it’s easy to grow by large percentages when one’s market share remains limited.
It still is a jump from 1.36% to 1.68%.
My thoughts exactly. Makes for nice headline and lot's of clicks though.
I hate misleading titles like these. The base is very small to begin with so any sort of jump in sales will seem "significant", even though it's not. The whole WP7 market share is even smaller than it was when it started 2 years ago, at under 2%.
Most likely Stephen Elop is buddy-buddy with the clueless CEO of a large company who probably went "Yes, we'll take 200000 handsets for 50 eurocents apiece to distribute to our employees, thankyousir."
