The article is unbelievable and I think it's not so correct. I'm a Microsoft man, I love Windows Mobile (my last 4 mobile devices was based on this platform) but the last month I had the chance to have an iPhone 3G. After a month the iPhone is my actual mobile device and it's absolutely not unstable. Safari is really a great experience, never seen on IE Mobile. iPhone lacks on battery life, but with Safari and Exchane integration it suits well my business needs.Anonymous

Not only is WM unstable often, it's also dog slow, ugly looking, clumsy, non-intuitive user interface, badly placed settings and controls, etc... Yeah, WM sure is better than the iphone!Anonymous

Nevermind that the author is involved with Microsoft's Windows Mobile division, and has a Windows Mobile book out.Anonymous

The luxury Apple has is that they own the hardware platform so anything fundamentally wrong with the OS integration with the hardware they can fix and issue to us in a small amount of time (which they have with the numerous fixes which they have done with the delivery of a number of fixed to 1.x and the latest fix to 2.0.1) Some say the biggest advantage that WM offersbis the choice provided by the OEM model but this is also a millstone around Microsoft's neck since any fixes or features they want to introduce have to be created and released to the OEM community then they decide if / when they will make them available to the paying punters. I strongly believe that this model needs to adapt to allow. Microsoft to be seen to be more responsive to their customers. It's often the OEM holding up play but Microsoft get the rap.Anonymous
