This is all Microsoft’s fault. They basically got lazy and stopped development on WinMo, when the iPhone came and put WinMo to shame, M$ basically conceded the market to iPhone probably to not have anti-trust issues.

M$ only recently got back into the Smartphone game after Google entered because they were worried Google will also later make a full PC OS that can compete with its profitable Windows. I think that’s the real reason M$ is doing WinMo 7, not to stop iPhone, but to go after Android knowing if Google gets too successful in the Smartphone business, they can later enter the PC operating system business and really hurt M$.

Google has pretty much already said that they're coming out with an android operating system for pc.. but I pretty much agree with the rest of what you said.
