I agree, I dont think wm is going anywhere especially with htc sense and the dev of the zune. I think developers are just waiting for wm7 so they wont have to change anything.

This statement is not true. In 2008, there were more WinMo hansets sold than Iphones. Symbian came in on top with BB under them, this is worlwide, not just in the U.S., which actually makes up a small percentage of smartphones sold. Now with nothing truly new being introduced this year with WinMo, its sales will slump compared with 2008. With the introduction of 3GS (which does add features and a new look and Apple's marketing schemes) sales will rise for Apple with a truly new handset (I personally still think it sucks). Also with HTC'c introduction of Her for the Android platform, sales will rise substantially as this is truly something new and different for Android with more memory, better hardware, sexier hardware, and a very marketable ui called Sense. What is the "hottest" is not necessarily true from the first half of a year to the next halk, and definitely untrue when comes the next year. Now when winmo7 comes, MS better market that OS themselves, and do a good job of it, and not fail a large group of people's expectations beacause of that marketing, like the Iphone has done. I have read many forums on other sites about people dropping the Iphone and going to something else because it did not meet expectations. And to note, I used an Iphone while I was was waiting for my free TP from Sprint when I dropped my Mogul, and during that time I got online so I could find out how to 'jailbreak" that thing, and my friend still left his Iphone, sold it on ebay, saw my TP and he uses the TP for business and this little flip for personal. The Iphone is not all that it is cracked up to be, its a bunch of hype that is well marketed, which by the way is something MS could learn from Apple.
This was meant to be just the first few scentences, then turned out to be more, got a little off topic.

Im simply telling you what I hear from the INSIDE. For most developers going forward WinMo is a dinosaur, Iphone is whats hot, BB is the standard business phone and Android is the future. Im not agreeing or disagreeing with it.

Are you sure that it's WinMo is a dinosaur, or that it's a nightmare for developers in terms of standardization? I would bet its the latter, because WinMo (from the inside or out) is a pretty open a capable platform. Because of the lack of devie standardization it makes it hard to develop it for. Something Android, Iphone, and BB don't have to worry about. (well BB until recently anyway).

No worries, Microsoft is addressing that.

I suggested! And so should YOU!

Yeah, I could see if Windows Mobile was like the Palm OS of old but thats not the case and the platform is still has many players. (HTC, HP, Palm, Samsung, Pharos, etc.)

We need everyone (who cares) to click suggest on the Windows Mobile suggestion button for a Google Voice App.

So far Blackberry, Andriod & iPhone have already p@ssed this.

Follow the link here:
http://www.google.com/support/voice/...suggestions.cs

Pretty much like voting

There are other selections and suggestions you can make here as well, so take advantage. Just keep in mind Goolge will skip windows mobile if no one is behind it.
IMHO a lot of big names seems to be brushing windows mobile to the side, too many for comfort.

thanks for the heads up Op i just suggested for windows mobile
