Well it looks as if something based on WinMo 6.x will be produced for a while anyway, under the awkward name Windows Phone Classic I believe. This leaves me with rhetorical questions though:
How many manufacturers will produce them (and for how long)? How many phone carriers will offer them to customers? How many customers will even know about them and choose one? This feels a bit like the collapse of the WinCE PDA market a while back. There are darned few choices left in a non-phone WinCE based PDA. --- In [email protected], "tmarkoski1122" <tmarko...@...> wrote: > > http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2010/03/16/2010-03-16_microsoft_ceo_steve_ballmer_sees_employee_using_apple_iphone_stomps_on_it_in_pub.html > > --- In [email protected], "tmarkoski1122" <tmarkoski@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "michiman56" <rriemersma@> wrote: > > > > > > I had missed this item earlier: > > > > > > Mary-Jo Foley: Can Windows Phone 7 multitask (and other Microsoft mobile > > > questions and answers) > > > > > > http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=5565 > > > > > > > > > This is the beginning of the Window Mobile Death Spiral. > > > > Windows Mobile phones have very little market as it is. > > These developments won't help them. > > Microsoft is wasting millions of dollars by creating a new Operating System > > that no one will want or need. > > > > I would love to ask Mr. Ballmer how removing multi-tasking is an innovation. > > > > With this development track by Microsoft, they have essentially declared > > war on 3rd party developers for WM.
