Let's not forget Symbian (and by extension the owners of Symbian). 04.5% - Samsung 08.4% - Siemens 10.5% - Panasonic 13.1% - Sony Ericsson 15.6% - Ericsson 47.9% - Nokia Their investments in Symbian have arguably decreased in value due to the gPhone consortia.
UIQ and the various companies that invested in UIQ similarly are definitely square in the sights of the gPhone.
There's no doubt that Windows Mobile / Windows CE / whatever the other Windows-based phone OS's are are losers in the sense that they'll be negatively impacted. But it's definitely not clear whether or not they're losers in the sense that they've lost. So I agree that this has yet to be determined.
