Microsoft's mobile limbo
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows Mobile doesn't lend itself to seat-of-the-pants development of
| user-facing apps the way that iPhone, HTML 5, and Flash Lite do. With iPhone,
| Android, webOS, and Flash Lite, developers can park themselves in front of an
| integrated development environment with nothing but a good (by someone's
| standards) idea and let things grow from there. What starts out as a UI
| prototype can end up evolving, through short steps, into a rich, finished
| application. Where that spark of inspiration flourishes best and most readily
| manifests as working code, the greatest number and diversity of mobile apps
| is found.

Is Googleâs Android Killing Windows Mobile?
,----[ Quote ]
| I wonder if it will be too late for the company to make a comeback, similar
| to Zune struggling to playsanjay Âcatch-up with the iPod. So while there is a
| lot of focus on Apple v Google, the real battle is actually between Microsoft
| Windows Mobile and Google Android. It looks like Google has drawn its first
| blood.
