Microsoft Tuesday said it expects global sales of its Windows Mobile platform for mobile devices and smartphones to grow 50 percent or more by the end of fiscal year 2009.
The bold prediction comes as smartphone sales rise and other major players like BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM), Apple and Palm continue to clamor for market share.
"Fifty percent growth is the minimum," Eddie Wu, Microsoft's managing director of OEM embedded devices for Asia, told Reuters during a press conference Microsoft held in Taipei Tuesday.
