which is complete trash lie

S.E made way before even Nokia 7710,N770,N810

since microsoft HAD to give them money so they can stay so window/microsoft had someone to compete

they made there little stupid ipod and milked since since 2000 till know witht the same dumb look and same itunes lame interface

apple can't and didn't do anything

except let the mobile industy wake up to more Touchscreen phones and apps that's all nothing new

I have to say, though, that steve jobs was right, he said "this is going to change phones as we know it."

And he did, look at all the touch screen phones, with app stores, and look how many features other phones have copied of the iphone.

The problem is windows could never do what the iphone did, it would have to create a new hardware platform as well as software features that we have not seen yet - otherwise its just another phone trying to copy the iphone, i mean they say WM7 will have better user friendliness and thumb optimisation. This idealology is 2 years old.

I dont know about you guys but I prefer Microsoft over Apple phone when it comes to lots of functionality and features. iPhone is all for yuppies and hippy teens while Windows Mobile is for serious business use. And before some of you flame me, I have to make it clear that I used both iPhone (also iPod touch) and Windows Mobiles and believe me Windows mobile is way ahead in terms of features and functionality.

Windows 7 is going to be huge..
