In what is somewhat of an embarrassment, Microsoft's (Nasdaq:MSFT) old Windows Mobile platform outsold Windows Phone 7 in the last quarter, according to data from NPD.
While it has to be taken into account Windows Phone 7 launched in the middle of the quarter, even so, it only generated 2 percent in market share against Windows Mobile's 4 percent market share.
Assuming sales at the same pace, Windows Phone 7 would have still only matched the sales of Windows Mobile in the quarter.
When it comes down to it, Microsoft still lacks a major catalyst for Windows Phone 7, and they need make a big deal with a major carrier to get the platform jump started.
Microsoft was trading at $27.58, down $0.18, or 0.63 percent, as of 2:09 PM EST.
