"Today at the D: Dive Into Mobile conference, Terry Myerson, the head of\u00A0Windows Phone, said that &amp;quot;iOS may be running out of steam,&amp;quot; and that &amp;quot;Android is a mess.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe iOS comment was in regards to Apple's iPhone 5 release,\u00A0which Myerson simplified to &amp;quot;adding another row of icons.&amp;quot; As for Android, \u00A0Myerson was asked about how he compares Windows Phone to the competition. He went on to explain that Samsung is the only OEM making money off of Android.\r\n\r\nWhen asked why Windows Phone is\u00A0a tough sell in North America,\u00A0Myerson detailed that Windows Phones in the $200-$300 price range pre-carrier subsidies have to compete\u00A0with phones of much high price (like the iPhone), because carrier subsidies bring the average cost of $600+ phones down to the $200 range.\r\n\r\nMyerson stated that\u00A0&amp;quot;Windows Phone is the startup inside Microsoft,&amp;quot; and called Steve Balmer an &amp;quot;intense,\u00A0lovable, everyday guy.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn response to an audience question regarding Facebook Home, Myerson sarcastically said &amp;quot;there's probably a whole team at Google trying to lock out [Facebook Home] from their open platform.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
