Looks like the economy might not be the only thing slowing down these days.  Supposedly, Microsoft has gotten busy with other things because from what this article says about Steve Ballmer’s keynote there  ain’t all that much new about WM right now – at least until 2010 or so.  Seems that Apple and Palm are giving them a run for their money right now.

Last month’s numbers from Gartner were not encouraging for Microsoft. Apple with its iPhone, and Research in Motion with a new cadre of Blackberries, clearly have the momentum on their side. For example, the market share of Windows Mobile for the third quarter dropped from 12.8 percent to 11.1 percent while RIM’s share jumped from 9.7 percent to 15.9 percent. For the first time, iPhone sales out sold those of Windows Mobile, Gartner noted.

I guess Microsoft will just have to get busy won’t they?  You can read the rest of this article on Redmond Developer News here.
