No, I think those numbers are disingenuous. The 90% marketshare was just PDAs when smartphones didn't exist. The 35% marketshare is also just PDAs and no smartphones, today. Add Treos into that number, and Palm OS is over 50%. That's a majority.
If I owned the majority of the market I would not feel in a hurry to innovate either.
