This is the main reason people think apps for WinMo suck. They end up finding old apps that've been around forever. Old addage; if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it... Pointless to spend valuable time updating artwork on something you create and give away for free. Sure if it needs functionality fixed for some reason you may as well update it, but otherwise, pft...

WinMo as well as the apps have stood the test of time well. The fact that so many things, modifications and addons of all sorts, work across many WinMo versions just goes to show what a great platform it is.

Only advantages iPhone apps have over WinMo apps in all cases is the differences in the age of the artwork. If pretty colors and smooth/high res icons and artwork is what you need, naturally iPhone is better because it doesn't have the library of older software. Any new WinMo software doesn't have such issues.


I just got my first smartphone after much consideration. HTC TP2 with WinMo 6.5 took the cake hands down.
