Windows Mobile Sales Miss Targets Comments

iPhone spanked it!

Its about Time MS created a true touchscreen OS

errr...How does less than 10 millions spanked 18 millions again ? Only in the mind of Apple fan boys..pah.

well said Gordy, MS designed Windows Mobile to be used by a multitude of devices, and therfore left the vendors
to do something special with it, they have had so long to turn it into a polished OS, yet mac os iPhone comes along and owns it in v1.0

@ Luah the inroads iPhone has made into MS's market are staggering and if they dont come up with an improvement soon, a single device will kill it muhahaha

I sure hope Microsoft's lucky number is 7, as they sure are depending a lot on that number.

Although to be honest, I don't really care how Microsoft performs as long as the market as a whole is decent and I have an enjoyable experience with my phone/PC etc.

I don't know, I think you'll find that the people who buys MS phones and those that buy iPhones are different. Probably where they overlap those people will have both!
Anyway, at 50+ millions Symbian phones spanked them both :-)
I'm in a position to work on all smartphones and the iPhone SDK is very nice, shame I have to use a Mac to work on it :-). The lack of buttons on the iphone/touch is a pain to work with.

MS might have sold a few million more if they just devised a way of switching of the alarm facility without users having to rip the battery out.
