Windows Mobile has nothing to fear from either the iPhone or Google Android, says Microsoft's John Curran.

TechRadar asked the Windows business lead for Microsoft UK how he saw Windows Mobile, Android and the iPhone divvying up market share in three years' time.

Placing Android and Apple in order in the remaining three rivals is "a tough call", he continues. "One's an emerging one, the other is a very limited form factor. One has relatively limited hardware support and limited distribution; the other is just one form factor from one company with limited choices of operators. So they both at this point feel fairly restrictive compared to all the great options consumers would have with a Windows Mobile phone."
