Reasonably stable,hideously difficult to properly configure for the typical user,poorly supported by commercial applications and confined mostly to the pocket protector crowd?
Actually,Linux has its place,its used for alot of scientific applications,but often your better off with a Mac if you need a unix box. I don't really know alot about Android,but it certainly will be interesting to see Google take on Microsoft. Certainly stiff competition will make phones better in general. Firefox vs IE is certainly a good example.

I agree with that statement as well. Microsoft isn't stupid. They know what people what out of their mobile devices and they realize Windows Mobile is not perfect, things just take time. Consider this forum community here, we represent a very small fraction of mobile "power users" in the world but mobile/handheld technology really still is in its infancy. We're just so spoiled by it all and always want more... it's the nature of the beast. The "beast" being us.

Every other day or so, I troll these forums to see if there is anything new/cool that I can do on my Mogul just to keep myself feeling like I'm one of the few to have the coolest gadget. But the fact of the matter is, I have all that I need on my Mogul that fits my needs and that's the bottom line.

I'm sure Microsoft has something up their sleeves...
