Windows Stationary Usurped by Linux Android, Moblin

,----[ Quote ]
| LG announced that more than half its new 
| smartphones will use Android, the common 
| operating system among the Nexus One, Droid, 
| G1, and so on.
| 
| Windows Mobile seems like Windows Stationary, 
| as Microsoft's Version 7 of its operating 
| system seems to be MIA. In the interim, the 
| business ecosystems of the iPhone and Android 
| and even Moblin continue to grow and perhaps 
| flourish. Capturing huge marketshare is what 
| Microsoft is all about, so I find it head-
| scratchingly strange that Windows Mobile is so 
| far behind.

Why arenât Linux phones using SyncML?

,----[ Quote ]
| As you would correctly guess Exchange and 
| the accompanying ActiveSync are proprietary 
| software, and though you may not have heard 
| of SyncML (unless youâve read my previous 
| blog) it is the exact opposite of Exchange 
| â that is, a platform-independent and open 
| standard for synchronizing data. To be 
| crystal clear, SyncML has been partially 
| realized on the N900 (Exchange is fully 
| supported out of the box) but is lacking a 
| key feature. From the Maemo Sync Wiki:
| 
|     The N900 provides SyncML over Bluetooth 
|     and USB but not IP.
