"We are not seeing visible demand for Symbian," she said.

Windows Phone is anything but professional and specialized. It's designed to orphan business users and is targeted to mainstream use.

Another example of head-scratching random marketing word generation.

    Samsung also said that they're going to ship 25 million smartphones in 2010 and 50 million in 2011.

    How many did the ship in H1 2010? 5, 6 million? So they expect up to 10 million smartphones shipped in each of the next 2 quarters? The Galaxy S seems to be going very well.
