TGDaily: Sales of smartphones powered by Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 operating system have dropped 38 percent since the launch last year. According to comScore, Windows Phone 7 sales accounted for 8 percent of the smartphone market shortly after it’s debut, but now that figure has fallen to 5.8 percent.
