Androidand iOS arethe undisputed titans in the smartphone field right now, fighting an ever-contentiousbattle for market share, profits and app developers’ attention. iPhone and Androidusers tend to be fiercely loyal -- just look at the comments section of any blog postdiscussing the positives or negatives. But there’s a third player in the smartphonewars, lurking in the shadows, and with the release of the Nokia Lumia 900, unveiledyesterday at CES, onecompany in particular is hoping for a three-way fight.That company isMicrosoft, whose Windows Phone 7 platform powers the Lumia 900.
