My final 2 cents.
This post belongs in a OS general discussion. In no way, shape or form does bashing WinMo belong in a TP2 forum. The OP's issue is with the operating systems and thier "usability" and "functionality" which to him, solely relies on the ability to run a single application and move menus with his finger.
The fact is, iPhone OS was designed for a single phone, single set of hardware, single purpose of functionality.
WinMo is designed for hundreds of phones, hundreds of sets of hardware and more multifuntional purposes than iPhone OS.
Few examples:
You have Comcast and they come to your house to diagnose your lines and determine thier issues by hooking up thier little tools, guess what OS that is running? Not iPhone OS.
You get a package from the mail (USPS) and it's scanned as delivered, guess what OS that is running? Not iPhone OS.
You're working at a retail store setting prices on products, scanning away and setting the price with your little price gun. What OS is that running? Not iPhone OS.
There are MILLIONS of uses that WinMo has been designed for and a phone is just one of them. The fact that people sit here and say MS let WinMo go is just stupid. That is why they went the route to split functionality purposes and relabel WinMo to be Windows Phone. They are now going to manage different peices based on different use applications. Windows Mobile as we know it will never die, the functionality purposes and uses of it fetches far beyond what a phone does, and is actually the primary tool of alot of portable companies.
So, keep bashing WinMo, but if you want to not look like a dumbass, simply say "iPhone OS" functions more properly as a "Cell Phone OS" than Windows Mobile, specifics might get you further (even tho alot here won't agree with that either).
Cheers!
