Windows Phone to surpass BlackBerry in market share

Windows Phone to surpass BlackBerry in market share:
Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS are headed for a knock-down fight over which has the smallest share of the market, according to WMPowerUser. BlackBerry's share continues to plummet, according to StatCounter, as Windows Phone struggles to grow past its approximate 1 percent penetration. At this rate, the two will switch spots on the leaderboard during the last few weeks of 2012.
RIM has done nothing but lose the foothold it once had in the smartphone market in the last few years while Android and iOS have duked it out over positions one and two, respectively. StatCounter shows BlackBerry OS at just under six percent market share in the first week of 2012, and it sits just above three percent now; by early December, the OS is predicted to be on just one and a half percent of smartphones.
