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.

The IT world is littered with companies who dominated their niche but were slow to react.

Remember WordPerfect? It was once the largest software company in the world.

Oh how about Wang?
Lotus, whose 1-2-3 ruled the spreadsheet roost?
Then there was Borland, remember Quattro Pro and Delphi?
What about Polaris software, the makers of Packrat?

Data General? Sperry? Burroughs

In 12 years of existence Google has transformed information access in ways that Microsoft never imagined, and yahoo can't find a buyer.

You are so right. ALL empires and dynasties fall. Well, except for Coca-cola.

It's all in the words: I never said Microsoft's WM OS will never become obsolete. I just said it is not inevitable. In your way of thinking, then, there is no debate, since the OS X will also fall to the lion.

From Dictionary.com:

Doomed

1. Inevitable destruction or ruin.
2. Fate, especially a tragic or ruinous one.
3. To destine to an unhappy end.

If Apple licensed their OS to all of the cell phone makers, they would most likely have the complete market.

This is just for fun. No more animal quotes. J/K

Geoff,

You make some good points there.
