I’d love to see Windows Phone become the third horse in the smartphone OS race
Fred Wilson, on _Android and iOS_: But I find myself rooting hard for Apple now. I sense the danger they are in and I don’t want either smartphone OS to be so dominant that we lose the level playing field we have now. It’s very important for startups, innovation, and an open mobile ecosystem for…
