I don't think you're 100% correct on this...Windows platforms for mobile have suffered much in the past! The reason for this is the lack of availability of awesome apps! The same thing goes for RIM's Blackberry device! The cool and fun factors are missing key elements! It is quite an embarassment for Microsoft quite honestly (I myself being an original Msoft dev who has moved on since then and I still continue to hope they will reinvent themselves into something cool!) Microsoft is the 300 pound gorilla in the room with the geeky devs that work really hard to lock you outside of their OS internals with cumbersome logic and updates that seem like a brick wall to a developer. Apple, same thing! Think about this for a moment! Why is Android so successful? Huh? Bet you cannot answer that! The reason is because they open up the box! You can tweek it whichever way you like, the OS is free and portable to any device! If you wish to write your own driver on the opensource platform you can and you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to do it! The only saving grace for microsoft and I hope they read my posting, is to create a new OS that is opensource and does not look like Windows XP, XP Embedded or any costly OS implementation! I have no idea why in god's name they just don't jump on opensource like everyone else! They are going to loose in this game if they don't do something quickly and with the economy in the tank worldwide, they are wasting money even creating their own tablet regardless how cool it looks and the fact it has a keyboard! Do you for a moment think that Google will not come out with a keyboard for the next Nexus device? Cmon...None of this stuff impresses the end user! Its the cool apps that give it the awesome factor! I doubt that the 3rd wheel on this date, Msoft will rise above the other two market share dominants, Android and IOS doing the same old thing! They made the X-box a success after it being a complete failure in the beginning and they lost billions, I would love to see them rise to the occasion, so that I can have something to develop for on their platform also! I just doubt that greedy can also be smart! Wink | ;)
