April 29, 2007: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.” -Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

November 21, 2007: iPhone Grabs 27% of US Smartphone Market

December 3, 2007: iPhone browsing marketshare closes in on .1%

“.09 percent may seem like an extremely small marketshare but when you consider that the iPhone has only been selling for 5 months and for most of that time was in one – albeit large – market (the U.S.), that share is amazing….The WindowsCE platform – all of the Windows mobile platform devices put together – only managed 66% of iPhones market share….They’ve been selling WindowsCE devices since 1996 – over 10 years.”
