Bill Gates: “Google is zero, we’re on 20 million phones”

Surely, I chipped in, this was one area where the likes of Google (with its new Android operating system) and Nokia, would prevent Microsoft from dominating? Windows is on 20 million phones, Google is on zero, though Nokia is pretty big, was the response. (I had arrived in the Microsoft tent bearing a blackberry, a Nokia phone and an iPhone, not quite realising how provocative that might be.)
For now, that is. I wonder were Android will be this time next year?
So that’s Nokia, Symbian and now Bill Gates himself who’ve all belittled the highly-anticipated gPhone (aka something running Android).
Let’s all hope that somebody like HTC don’t produce an amazing Android phone that takes the market by storm later this year or all the flabby incumbents could end up looking rather stupid.
