I doubt M$ would ever really take the innovative-cutting edge lead in windows mobile device's since their main market is PC applications and now... the Xbox/Media center integration.
They would be happy to...as schettj put... just copy and stay current. But I do not see them spear-heading smartphone/WM technology in future development & releases.
I guess we should be thankful though to innovators such as Apple & Palm. They do pioneer innovative software & hardware technology that manages to leak into even our own devices and inspire custom applications for that make our devices better. I mean I never thought I would have touch technology, integrated messaging, (3) media players, etc on my 6800 when I bought it and it has continued to "evolve" .
Woohoo.
