Microsoft's Ballmer on Android: We're not worried

[benji]

Well... he's gotta same something in defense of his company's product.

Something tells me MS is going to be wishing they'd paid attention to the fire lit under them when the iPhone came out. Android is about to start munching away at even more of their market share. The timing of the G1 product launch is genius: iPhone is entrenched, growing it's market, however, there's a lot of us who don't want to give up our voice plans that are much lower priced than ATT's (I'm 'grandfathered' into T-Mobile @ $39 per month for 1500 minutes) but want a more relavent device.

Personally, I've been using WinMo since the early days of clamshell HP WindowsCE devices. It's been fun, but it's become dull and antiquated. My contract was up, I pre-ordered a G1; moved my personal domain from Hosted Exchange to Google Apps and am anxiously awaiting to log into an initialize my G1.

I may revisit the WM world when version 7 comes out, but the G1 looks like a lot of fun
