RIM has much more marketshare in developed markets, and it can still turn things around.

WebOS has a technology advantage over Microsoft's offering, but a bad starting point. Still, I would not rule HP out.

But to be honest, I am not sure third place will be a significant thing. The mobile market is looking to repeat history with how things turned out on the desktop. Do we care much about third place there? Not really.
