No that was RIM and HTC the transformation was well on its way and Apple just fanned the flames.
No that's not correct, RIM was in the lead with the Blackberry and Tmobile held almost the entirety of the smart phone market, WinMo has never nor will ever be as popular as the RIM gui or Apple. Sure we all love it but its just the truth.
WinMo has always lagged woefully behind and were never really competitive.
If WinMo licenses keep going the way they are going there will be no future for it.
No they don't WinMo is hungrier and more unstable than either of the platforms you mentioned.
The average cellphone user already owns a smartphone.
Now you are just making things up. there will be a learning curve assosciated with any new platform.
Once people adapt as you say they will be un interested in switching platforms, it will actually be bad for windows mobile.
If it cant be utilized easily by the end user then the feature isn't there. In the marketing world they call those phantom features.
That may be true but as usual Microsoft isn't going to innovate they are going to try and capitalize on an already successful formula. And while that may have been successful business practice in the past it does not work with the fast moving, ever dynamic technology field.
No actually Apple is giving it to them and will continue to dominate.
WM is basically finished, it set the trend and then failed to stay competitive in its own field.

I like your style! However, since most phones are PDAs/Smartphones, then by logic, most of their users are not all that savvy and thus, might not have an established preference for brand. I'm sure my fiancee's next phone will be a smartphone, but she has no preference for Android or Windows Mobile and she won't get an iPhone because she'll know I'll leave her because of that. If Microsoft just puts their phones out there and advertises advertises advertises, most likely people will buy them.
Now if we can just hope, Jerry Seinfeld is not the one to sell these phones.
