Previously I posted about IDC and Ovum saying that WP7 will overtake iOS in near future(https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/985270-analyst-wp7-to-overtake-iphone-in-2016/page__p__593823462__fromsearch__1#entry593823462).

Now add Gartner to that list too. They believe WP7 to overtake Blackberry in 2013, and iPhone in 2015.

Heres the news link to that article(http://wmpoweruser.com/gartner-predicts-windows-phone-7-will-overtake-blackberry-in-2013-overtake-iphone-in-2015/)

And heres the Source link for Gartner's own website, predicting this(http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1622614).

Below is a snapshot from there website.

As I have said before, the release version is just to make people aware of the name. it's not even officially released and supported in most of the world. Once we get version 1.5 (7.5) and 2.0(8) we should see MS put some hard marketing behind it along with Nokia. We've seen it before, it's what they did with the Xbox. once that happens and people start to hit the end of their contracts (especially in contracts that for some ridiculous reason allows more than 12 month consumer contracts) we'll see that Microsofts real push will start. and by then they should have most of the world supported.

The biggest issue for WIPHONE 7 is that it needs to be updated in a more sane manner, much like the IPHONE does where you just sync with itunes and presto, why not just push the updates to ZUNE software and skip these dumb ass cell carriers. However this method should be attached to a warning, any custom apps from the carrier could be fooked.

Well, I for one am getting tired of Gartner predicting thing...I would like to see some information about the hitrate on their predictions :p

Yeah, me too. Anybody can make wild guesses. Although, I do think the WP7 will be big in the future. I just don't know how big.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
