Re: What will happen to Windows Mobile?

Quote:
[*]Does it just die?
Yes and no, microsoft said they will still support it but it is obvious their focus is elsewhere.

Quote:
[*]Do they maintain two platforms?
Simply put yes...they are probably keeping it for the business community, until they cook up a new business version..but at this point they are after iphone crowd.

Quote:
[*]Would the business community embrace a device list the new version?
I doubt..many will end up switching platforms is my guess or keeping wm6.5

Quote:
[*]Is development on the new platform limited to XNA?
XNA, the .net platform and silverlight

Quote:
I know there are other threads that discuss this, but I am looking for comments from those in the know, not a bunch of MS bashing. I have spent a lot of time building up expertise on this platform and want to know if I need to start again.
sorry M$ does suck :/

I love what I can do with my WM phone and am worried that the only other place I can have this level of flexibility in the future will be with Android (which I like BTW).
There won't be any flexibility with windows mobile anymore, even if a new business version is made next year or whenever its had to see it happening. Android isn't bad but still has a bit to go to catch up..that said microsoft is starting from scratch so no matter how you slice it android is a more mature platform as it stands.
