The Windows Phone mobile platform may be looking to have an even better 2014 after showing some encouraging momentum this year, at least according to aWindows Supersite article written by Paul Thurrott. While Windows Phone is still trailing in third place behind Google and Apple when it comes to mobile market share, it has been growing at a faster rate than its competitors even though at the end of 2013 it still only owned just 3.6% of the overall market. In certain regions of the world including Europe and Latin America, Windows Phone has registered even better sales and has even surpassed an 8% share in the five biggest European markets.
Android had an 81% market share according to October numbers released by IDC, while iOS had a 13% share in the same third quarter, down from a 14.5% share in Q3 2012 despite increased iPhone sales compared to 2012. Windows Phone shipments rose by more than 150% year over year and the platform has nestled comfortably into third place ahead of BlackBerry.
