Microsoft Plans for 30 Million Windows Phone 7 Devices to be Sold by End of 2011

Microsoft took the time to show off some slides over in Paris yesterday, at a ReMix event, and one of them shows that the Redmond-based company wants to sell 30 million Windows Phone 7 devices by the end of 2011. These are based on IDC projections, which seem to suggest that they’re as crazy as Microsoft. The truth is, there aren’t any devices slated to be released to the public for several months (by the end of the year, and some time probably in the holiday season), which gives Microsoft only a year, give or take a few months, to reach that lofty goal.
Probably the most interesting part of that, though, is that these figures aren’t including other “Windows Phone” devices, such as the Kin One and Kin Two. Now, we’re not saying that this would necessarily tip the scales in favor of Microsoft’s goal, but it’s surely putting quite a big weight on the Windows Phone 7 development teams out there. They better be making one of the best mobile Operating Systems to date, put together with hardware manufacturers that actually create outstanding hardware. And no, that isn’t the LG Panther.
