But looking at only market share doesn't paint a complete picture of why Google skipping Windows Phone is odd.įor one, Google did decide Windows Phone was important enough to create an official Google Search app for the platform, even though you can easily use Google Search through the Windows Phone Web browser. With Windows Phone having only a 4 percent share of the smartphone market behind Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry, it's easy to say that Google should be excused for ignoring the platform. "This may change if we start to see greater demand from Windows Phone users for Google Voice." "We're focusing our Google Voice efforts on Android & iOS and don't have a plan to extend this to the Windows Phone," Google told me via e-mail, when I asked recently about the lack of support. Want to use Google Voice on your mobile phone? Google has apps for Android, the iPhone, and BlackBerry.īut a year-and-a-half after Windows Phone launched, Google still has no plans to support Microsoft's mobile platform.
