We're so close to realizing a pocket computer with guts, but Its gonna crash if we don't stop seeing it as a phone that acts like a Droid, its not a phone! (it has one) it is a PPC....
You are obviously not in the demographic that is being targeted by Microsoft with this product.
You probably fall more into the windows embeded category.
It's more of a niche product and has more of what YOU are looking for.
WP7 is a direct competitor for the iPhone and will have a broader appeal.
The cool thing is that we all have choices and we aren't stuck with one or another.
