<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;this article is about, windows phone 8 market share</li>
<li>] verge g+ post re google mapps</li>
<li>&gt; in 2011 global smartphone market share for the windows phone OS was about 1.6 % compared to android at 48.8 and ios at 19.1 % - AND that was down 43% from 2010 - BUT thats still 6.8 million users, not the 2 or 3 we all like to joke about ...</li>
<li>&gt; in 2012 Q4 msft released a new smartphone os in windows 8 and several vendors(htc,nokia,samsung) released competitive new hardware(lumia 920, htc 8x, ativ s) for that platform. I havent seen any concrete numbers as of yet for 2012 Q4, but I have seen articles quoting msft executives indicating that sales were about 4x that of the previous year's q4 numbers</li>
<li>&gt; up to 2012 Q3 gartner market share data indicates that smartphone shipments with microsoft os was over 4 million units, with 2.4% of total market share</li>
<li>&gt; thats over *10 million windows phone users and growing*</li>
