My phone

While not exactly a smart phone, my new Toshiba VM4050 has the potential to be one. It has a speedy new type of processor, a unbelievable crisp and clear 240 x 320 screen, and 6MB of free memory. It uses the amazing OpenWave browser. Phones like this one certainly have great potential to support some impressive apps.

How do the OSes shake out?

As a developer what I'd really like to see is the market share for the various handheld operating systems. I can add up palmOne and Sony to get a rough idea of the Palm OS. Likewise add HP and Dell for a rough count of Windows CE. But I know there are some Motorolas that run Windows, too, and plenty of handhelds in the "other" category that run Palm OS (Samsung, Kyocera, Symbol, Garmin, etc.) or Windows CE (Toshiba, ViewSonic, Asus, Acer, etc.)

Then there is Symbian. How many of those Nokias are running Symbian? And who else runs it?

Anybody seen these numbers?
