Windows Phone one again projected to claim more market share than iPhone, this time by 2016

IDC announced the results of their quarterly smartphone research today, and found that worldwide, Android claimed 61% of the pie, followed by iOS with 20.5%, BlackBerry with 6.0%, and Windows Phone with 5.2%. The real shocker is that IDC projected a drop in iOS market share to 19% by 2016, and forecasted Windows Phone would claim just about as much as Apple with a 19.2% share. It's not a shock they projected this -- analysts have been forecasting just such a thing for years and years now. It's that it keeps being wrong year after year. For whom exactly are these projections valuable...?
