While reading the news of the eagerly anticipated iPhone a thought came to me. As has been reiterated this week, the iPhone will be running a full version of the OS X operating system.
Now as we all know the OS market share stats lean heavily towards Microsoft because they count all the Windows installations on cash points, kiosks and the like.
Therefore, surely all sales of the iPhone will contribute to the OS X tally. If this iPhone sells in the numbers expected then this will start dragging up the market share on its own. Now imagine if the next gen stand alone iPod with touch screen also ships with OS X. I look forward to seeing those official stats start swinging in Apple's favour. The headlines alone will be great PR for the company.
