T-Mobile exec praises Android, attacks Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| Reinhard Clemens, chief executive of Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Systems,
| is quoted in Fierce Wireless as saying Android is "the first OS that enables
| the development of cellphone software without the need to change the code to
| support specific handsets", and claiming "Windows Mobile devours simply too
| much energy, and the user needs to be close to a power socket if they intend
| to use a Windows Mobile handset with the OS for any length of time".

Windows Mobile may not survive for much longer. It's a financial loser and
Ballmer admits that it fell behind the competition.

Why Windows Mobile Is In Trouble
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently it was revealed that the newest version of Microsoft’s mobile
| operating system, Windows Mobile 7.0, would be delayed until as late as 2010.
| The updated version, which the company’s partners had reportedly been hoping
| to have by early 2009, was aimed at giving Microsoft a bigger presence on the
| mobile stage. But delay or no delay, I don’t think it would have been enough.
| With competition from a resurgent BlackBerry platform from Research in
| Motion, Apple’s iPhone and most importantly, the Google Phone platform (I
| will analyze Nokia’s Symbian platform in a separate post at a later date),
| Microsoft’s mobile platform is facing its toughest environment yet.

| Sometime later this month, the G-1 will go on sale and people (at least those
| in the U.S.) will be able to experience the difference between a Windows
| Mobile- and an Android-based phone for themselves. Of course, some will find
| the shortcomings of the Google Phone — and according to Mossberg, there are
| many — grating. Others, like me, will be suitably impressed. And if they’re
| impressed enough, most handset makers will want to join the party.
