Joe Wilcox says he’ll kiss Steve Ballmer’s feet if Windows Phone is No. 2 in the market by 2015. Wilcox is referring to a report by IDC earlier today that Windows Phone 7 will overtake iOS, thanks to Nokia. Joe doesn’t believe Windows and Nokia can pull it off, which is why he makes such a bold statement. It would be funny to see though.

The market is too volatile and fast-changing. IDC’s 2014 smartphone OS forecast, released little more than six months ago, is evidence enough. Then the analyst firm predicted that iOS share would fall to 10.9 percent by 2014, for a 25.8 percent decline. Since, iPhone 4 proved to be hugely successful and Verizon started distributing the smartphone.
