Channel partners with close ties to Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) are
generally reluctant to admit to using products from Microsoft's
archenemies. However, the appeal of Apple's iPhone is apparently
becoming too strong for some Microsoft partners to resist....
"I have to be honest: The iPhone is an amazing device, and I'm not
sure I'll be going back to a Windows Mobile device anytime soon," said
one Microsoft partner, who asked not to be named....
"I know that I, and many other Microsoft partners, would ditch Windows
Vista in a heartbeat for OSX if we could only be allowed to install it
on our own hardware....
Another Microsoft partner who recently bought a 3G iPhone says [that]
the overall user experience "blows Windows Mobile out of the
water,"...
"Windows Mobile just doesn't work as well. For whatever reason,
Windows Mobile phones don't have enough memory, so if you switch from
browser to the phone, they crash. I have to reboot mine a minimum of
two times a week, and often more," said the source.
