IMO the biggest challenge for MS is the mobile market.
The existence of the "Google phone" seems to be be confirmed and if and when it will become available this would mean two things: The first serious possibility to disrupt Carriers dominance and the lock they exercise on the market. Iit would be a further black eye in MS face. They should have come out with a MS phone when they found themselves with a consistent edge in the mobile market and, even more important, seen by the public as an innovative company in that specific segment. Another important, and possibly devastating, issue could hit MS if the Google Phone will become a reality: MS would face a serious identity crisys because they would be the only big player without its own hardware. Time will tell but if in January a Google phone running Android on a Snapdragon chip etc. as described by Techcrunch here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/12/google-phone-unlocked-confirmed/ I will seriously considering putting away my HTC HD2 and jumping wagon, at least for the time being. |
