Gotta get in on this one. Yeah, WinMo is pretty much done. And it's ms' fault entirely. The pc marketing model that worked w/ PDAs (let the mfgr promote the devices & thus the o/s), didn't translate well at all w/ the move to telcoms. The telcoms worked WinMo over! Handset mfgrs w/ a few exceptions put the o/s on under powered crap. And ms could've prevented all that. They blew by Palm and lost focus. By the time htc started turning out decent to stellar handsets it was to late. So where are we? 2007 ms gets it's ass handed to them by a really neat FEATURE! phone. Unbelivable! I own the Imagio. Screen more responsive than my old Dell Axim X50v (ppc 2003SE). I'm havin' a blast with it. As a previous poster expressed: sad to know this is the end. HD2 needn't be the last hurrah. Just sad.
