It's not for everyone doc... That's why I think Windows Embeded is here to stay. M$ wants YOUR money too.
If they don't keep you... You go elsewhere. That's not good for them.

If we're lucky, they might even release that HTC Oboe on a carrier with actually remotely reasonable rates *COUGH*Sprint*CDMA*Cough. I'm not gonna name any names though

I do love the "seriously" ads for WP7. Although it sounds a bit like lemonade.

MS: "We made a phone you're not going to want to use much"
Mad Man: "We can work with that... turn it upside down"
MS: "I LOVE it!"

Bro... There's a new batch of customers EVERY year...
My 16 year old's had a phone since he was 12. I know... I didn't buy him a smart phone... But he's ready for one in 2011. HE will decide which platform to follow. He was thinking EVO (Android) but he's been seeing the buzz WP7 has caused and now he's rethinking it. He's saving all his christmas money and I bet he gets a Smart phone in 2011. Old dudes like me who've been with WinMo since it came out are not who M$ is worried about. And unless Android and iPhone come up with something different... It's gonna be tight at the top. Verizon getting the iPhone might get some peoples wifes to buy it. I know I would have to buy one for MY wife if it came to Sprint. But Most people on Verizon are on Android phones and happy to be there.
New business is where it's at. Not to mention stealing users from Apple and Android especially those who have a new upgrade coming and have an XBox at home. They are a huge target for M$. It seems to me that people forget that M$ has been in this game a long time and they have the bucks and the resources to make it happen. Maybe not number 1 but then again number 3 is not a bad place to be.

Well, I cannot avoid a bit of a rant here as I have been following Windows Phone 7 carefully via Paul Thurott and Windows Weekley. I just got a new laptop so started exploring the various options of synching my mail, calendar and music.

I have come to the conclusions that synching is a whole lot easier on Android and iPhone that what is being proposed with WP7. As far as I can tell your only option with WP7 is to have your Calender on Live and synch from that (does not go in the opposite direction). Also I guess you have to buy into Zune and somehow synch your music collections via that.

How does all this cloud stuff work when you are say in an airplane and offline?

I guess my next phone will have to be android. I refuse to get stuck in the manipulations of either Apple or MS. For the time being, I'll keep going with my TP2, which is giving me basically no trouble with WM 6.5.

Rant, rant, rant....
