Windows Mobile Software, Profitably Affordable Microsoft Windows operating system is perhaps the most popular operating system in the world, with more than 80% of PC users having it installed in their workstations. In the field of mobile computing as well, the brand has made its mark. The company, as of now, holds a market share of as much as 10% of the mobile operating system industry. Mind share is another story all together and to quote Steve Ballmer: At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what the critics say, it matters what the customers say. The platforms provides the perfect opportunity for business owners to move in and capitalize on the market share of Microsoft. As per the 2008 report of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), there are approximately 4 billion mobile phone users in the world. Even 10% of it means a humongous number of users. If business owners have Windows mobile software built for these users, they are sure to profit quite a bit from it.

This makes Windows mobile OS an ideal platform for app developers. 3. Customizability:
