Oh dont get me wrong - I know about what WM still has going for it - and I really am not trying to convert anyone or say that iPhone can do more than WM with regards to functionality - but really guys - iPhone is here to stay and whilst users like you may hate it - there is a very rapidly growing group who do not. If WM can keep the flexibility of their device AND vastly improve the user experience for the A V E R A G E man in the street - not you Uber-Geeks who dont need it then perhaps MS have a chance of getting in there again. I really hope they do - if not just to keep Apple on their toes. No one wants to see Apple succeed in the Smartphone Market like they have in the MP3 player - not even me!

I remember the old story of Brunel's broad gauge against Stephenson's standard gauge, Betamax vs VHS - it is nothing whatsoever about how brilliant a product is - it is which one grabs the majority of the market that counts - and then ensure they stay there! You might not like it - but iPhone have in a very short time grabbed the publics attention - they have a long way to go before they hit global domination - but at the growth rates we are seeing - it could be quick!

In the meantime - sticking heads in the sand ostrich wise will do nothing to halt the onslaught!
