Microsoft's mobile smartphones are outselling Apple's iOS and BlackBerry OS, according to a Microsoft executive.
In a blog post, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Corporate Communication Frank X. Shaw wrote about Microsoft's developments in the past season and what's ahead in the future.
"From where I sit, it's busy both ways," wrote Shaw.
Noting that they have launched a "wave of incredible devices and services," Shaw said the return numbers are encouraging.
Based on early numbers, Windows Phone has reached 10 percent market share in several countries. According to Shaw, citing the latest report from IDC, Microsoft has shipped more than BlackBerry in 26 markets. In comparison to Apple, Microsoft has shipped more in seven markets.
The specific markets were not disclosed.

"With a remarkable foundation of products in market and a clear view of how we will evolve the company, product leaders across Microsoft are working together on plans to advance our devices and services, a set of plans referred to internally as 'Blue," wrote Shaw, in regards of future plans.
Shaw did note the future Microsoft products are not guaranteed the name "Blue."
According to figures by NetMarketShare, Windows Phone has seen an increase in use. The Windows Phone operating system placed sixth with 1.24 percent of the February market share, up by 0.09 percent in January.
Apple's iOS accounted for 54.91 percent. Apple's percentage tops Android by more than double figures. Android placed second with 25.65 percent. Java ME rounded the top three with 12.38 percent.

With the 2013 season looming just around the corner, it's only natural for Major League Baseball to make sure its various applications on different platforms are all ready to go come this weekend. And as it did with MLB.tv on Xbox Live a couple days ago, MLB's now also updated the At Bat Android and iOS apps, leaving behind the spring training features from last month and making room for ones that are tailored for this year's Opening Day and forward. For subscribers, this means things such as multi-platform live audio, more video highlights, a virtual archive of classic games and a revamped news section within the apps. What's more, MLB has kept its promise of bringing At Bat 13 to the BB10 crowd, giving BlackBerry Z10 owners the ability to download the app starting today. Clearly, it's that time of the year again, that time where your Yankees-cheering friends tell you all about how A-Rod, when fit, is the best player in the game. Or, if they're Giants fans, how they really, really, hope the tale of Samson's hair won't apply to Tim Lincecum.
