Re: Is Windows Mobile Vanishing?
So back to this topic I started a few months back, I am seeing more signs of WM just getting hosed.
Fennec/Firefox Mobile... "Mozilla puts hold on Firefox development for WM"
Flash 10.1 will be available for WebOS, Android, and Blackberry. (They now say per device, but where is the WM stuff?)
No more Windows Mobile for Sony Ericsson... "The time has finally arrived as Windows Mobile's adventure with Sony Ericsson has come to a complete halt – there unfortunately won't be any additional development on the aging mobile platform."I hate to say this myself, but if I like the HTC EVO, my WM days are over. I already like the Android platform after using a DROID off and on to test. In fact, after that, I can't see going back to WM and that isn't even the new EVO yet. I just think Microsoft is kicking themselves in the head. Even with the Windows 7, I still see Android, and iPhone destroying it. And I am not a loyal person to any of those, i'm just stating what I see.
In fact recently i've been going... Man, I really don't like my TP2 much anymore. I wish I did and I wish the next TP3 had a killer WM OS, but I don't see that happening. I see all of the other OS markets growing way beyond WM and have a feeling even when the Windows 7 stuff emerges, it will already be too late.
Maybe many of you will be loyal and stay with Windows on your phones, but for me the time has come to switch platforms. Who knows, maybe Windows 7 phone stuff will just amazes us. But with a phone like the EVO, I don't see how they can stay in the game. You don't see that thing running anything Windows.
