Re: How Microsoft blew it with Windows Mobile
WM7 has something in it's favor when it drops. I can't tell you how many times I read the bloggers when reviewing phones say things like "I have a special place for WM, it was my first PDA but...". Most of the people that will be doing these reviews will be giving the OS very good publicity if it's done right. Sites like phonescoop, phoneareana, Cnet, will do some of MS advertising for them. I do believe they'll get it right and also think that from now on the days of qvga and vga devices are gone. We'll basically be seeing WVGA devices with a capactive touch screen, with very strict minimal system requirements. The developers no longer have to deal with the 20 different phone types and with a Marketplace already in place, WM is positioned for a great comeback.
