Really Bad Trash Talk: Steve Ballmer on the iPhone’s Chances

It ‘s always fun when someone talks the talk, and then utterly fails to walk the walk. I spotted this earlier this week at Daring Fireball, noting the prediction by Microsoft ‘s CEO of how the iPhone would do in the smartphone market:
Steve Ballmer, back in April 2007 (two months before the iPhone hit stores):
There ‘s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.
Then saw a report today at Apple Insider, noting that the iPhone outsold ALL Windows Mobile phones in Q2 of this year.
Apple’s iPhone held onto a 13.7% share of global smartphone unit sales in the second quarter, outpacing Microsoft’s Windows Mobile, which now claims just 9% of the market, according to Canalys.
Good call Steve. 
Apple vs. Microsoft = Ohio State vs. Michigan. Respectively, of course.
Hey Honda – good to see you here. I wonder if Rich Rodriguez is going to manage to get Michigan turned around.
