Microsoft's Terry Myerson, corporate vice president of Windows Phone, talks about the competition. "With iPhone, I sense that it's running out of steam.

Trying to point out that something sold "pretty damn" well instead of "stellar success" like Windows XP/7 is just trying to make out something was a sales flop when it clearly wasn't.
