The rom that it was released on is HEAVILY encrypted... as far as i know there isnt a sys/xip for it yet... the Xbeta people are trying to decrypt it as we speak.

WM is a powerful Os no one will deny it, but the age of pecking away like a desktop on your phone is ending and MS hasnt come to that realization, and still have the desktop mentality.

Other manufacturers seem to be able to come out with new intuitive OSs like android, iphone, and WebOS while MS has been stagnant. I might end up with a Pre until we see what wm7 will be next year. WebOs sounds like it will be the best of all worlds, but well see in less than a few months. I was VERY impressed with their demo from the little they did show off.

If you haven't noticed iPhone OS, WebOS, and Android are all very new OSes. They were built from scratch with one purpose, to be usable as a phone.

Windows Mobile is one of the few OSes that is old yet still relevant. In my mind Symbian and Palm OS are all but extinct. Blackberry is so locked down and limited, that most developers could care less.

Windows Mobile aka Windows CE was made to run on embedded devices, it was not originally targeted at phones. Microsoft simply cannot throw away more than a decade of development and software compatibility. In my opinion, they will slowly morph it into a more "finger friendly" & "on the go" OS. Otherwise they will make tons of software obsolete, scaring away developers, manufacturers, and other vendors.

I actually like that windows mobile is much like my desktop in terms of capability. However, I wouldn't mind some iPhone like usability features added to Windows Mobile.
