Ballmer does it again


This morning, without admitting that he was wrong again, Steve Ballmer - Microsoft's bombastic CEO, admitted to the Financial Times that "iPhone and BlackBerry have "clear market momentum" in the smartphone business." He also said there will not be a Zune Phone (for those not in the know - a Zune is a device to play music, but it has not sold very many units, see iPod).

By this time his prognostications should be put on the funny pages not in the news. In the story he also said that music players would be succeeded by more "general purpose" devices like the iPhone and the iTouch. Gee, thanks Steve, we will keep that in mind.
