On the occasion of MWC, Lawrence Schlosser, Director of the division operators and mobility at Microsoft made a point about the launch of Windows Phone 8 in the last quarter of 2012.
Following the joint campaign by builders and the Redmond company, the start of the new version of the mobile OS would be a success. "This has resulted in an increase in market share of one point per month in France since the launch," said Lawrence Schlosser. According to Microsoft, this would increase at the expense of Apple's iOS system. "Since November we have become the third Bada and BlackBerry OS before," he says ... but he is obviously still far behind iOS and Android! Microsoft fails to communicate about specific figures.
To continue the momentum, Windows Phone now has major advantages. A wide range of handsets and is available to consumers at every price: five Nokia, two from HTC, Samsung and soon one new model Huawei. These are, for the most part, well-referenced among the main operators.
Criticized for its lack of wealth on the first Windows Phone, the app store now 130,000 applications, as announced proudly Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia, the opening of the MWC. Aware that this number is much lower than that of the Apple Store and Android Lawrence Schlosser said he is confident that "what matters most is the quality of the proposed applications, not quantity. The consumer has no need of 15 apps weather. "The Windows Store will propose today the majority of the more popular with users and Microsoft gives priority to the creation of scenarios to enrich differentiating (how to take advantage of NFC for example). To attract developers, the company is willing to help and offer a good view of the store with a highlighting of the most original applications.
