Bert,
I had stated that windows mobile is dead in the water but necessarily sinking. It is just that this platform is not going anywhere. But like the palm smartphones it will just hang around and there will continue to be products that use it.
I drew an analogy with Vista to demonstrate the fractured nature of the windows mobile platform like what has happened to Vista.
I personally would rather use a windows mobile product since the flexibility and relative openness of the platform makes it attractive to me. However I have lost hope after six years of use. It just has never materialized into a simple, easy to use product.
