Please elaborate on how Microsoft stock is not relevant. It is probably the single most unbiased indicator here. There is no journalist inputting his own opinion- it's just the market speaking to us.
Again, if Windows Mobile was hurting their bottom line, investors would be calling for it to be scrapped. Please shopw me where that has happened. I provided the links where you would be able to find such a report if one existed. And I even provided the independent yahoo finance links- intentionally not providing the MSN Money links due to bias concerns...
Get the hint here? Windows Mobile has a HUGE backer in Microsoft. Much bigger than the opinion of some random blogger. For anyone to say Windows Mobile is in trouble, they better first demonstrate where either Microsoft as a whole is in trouble, or where Microsoft has even hinted that they will stop pouring resources into it, or even where investors are calling for Microsoft to drop it.
NONE of that has happened yet. On the contrary- Microsoft is actually making money off of Windows Mobile, and there are more Windows Mobile users today than at any point in the past. So there is no way it is in trouble.
You seem to have the impression that just because the iPhone is selling more than Windows Mobile that Windows Mobile must be doomed. That is not the case at all. As long as it isn't a burnden on the investors, Microsoft has plenty of resources at its disposal to keep pushing it. And right now it is the oposite of as burden- it is actually making money (even if not as much as the iPhone) and has more current users than ever before.
