There will be a place pocket pcs as long as there is that big company up and Redmond pushing them. Microsoft had a pretty good year in Windows Mobile sales. Plus throw in the open handset alliance and Android operating on similar hardware I think the future is bright.

You cant really compare the Pocket PC to a an IPhone in an apples to apples comparison. The IPhone is an Ipod with a phone. It is aimed squarly at the demographic that it is doing so well with. The PPC was not doing good in that demographic before the IPone came along.

I personally feel it is wrong to even try to compare them to each other as they are really quite different devices. There is overlap which is why the comparisons exist but WM's real competition is mostly CrackBerries, Symbian based smartphones and soon to be Android based phones.

We all know whe can do more on our phones. Some people just dont care to do more on their phones.
