I guess I have to give credit were credit is do and apple hands down took that market and it paid off. The thing that is disappointing is how long it is taking MS to respond to the IPhone as far as software. MS needs to step it up and develop a OS for mobile devices with GPUs. The devices are designed today with fast processors its just terrible code slowing them down. Mobile 6.5 is a step in the right direction but there taking way to long getting it out.
I truly believe that the Zune HD will be competitive with the IPod Touch in time. The Zune HD has the 3D capacity to play games since the chip was developed by NVidia. If only the Zune was a phone as well.

The reason MS is taking so long to respond in essence...is because they are pussies. Sorry that's the only way to put it. They are at the mercy of ODMs like HTC who license WM from them and in turn SOUR it's name by putting crappy processors and not paying for video drivers for graphics processors ALREADY present in our devices.
Microsoft never sat down and created a MANDATORY list of minimum specs, well they learned their lessons and manned their nuts up and made a list of specs each device must meet to license WM7, if a device doesn't meet those requirements the ODM cannot put WM7 on it.
**Also the TP2 has a larger screen than the TP1 so I don't get how one loses any pixels. The TP has a 640x480 screen while the TP2 has a 800x480 screen.**
I'm a WinMo user that tells it like it is, a bunch of fanboys on here live in this fantasy world where Windows Mobile 6.1 is "teh shiz" but to be honest it really isn't and 6.5 isn't that much different.
