He said they would get 2-3% of the &lt;i&gt;total phone market&lt;/i&gt;, not the smartphone market. He even makes that clear in the part that Gruber quoted: &quot;... 1.3 billion phones ...&quot;. That&apos;s phones, not smartphones.&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/apple-iphone-smartphone-market-share-surges-rim-slips/34181&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/apple-iphone-smartphone-market...&lt;/a&gt; in the first quarter of 2010 Apple had 16.1% of smartphones and smartphones were 18.8% of mobile phones. That comes out to almost exactly 3%.&lt;p&gt;Ballmer also wasn&apos;t wrong about Windows Mobile. The &quot;60 percent or 70 percent or 80 percent&quot; was not a prediction, it was just what he would prefer.</text></comment>

However, I think most people would prefer cloud syncing since it is so easy for the user.</text></comment>
