While I don't think IPhone is going to be a threat in the business/enterprise market to Windows Mobile right now, this is definately a step into more innovation..something that Windows Mobile has been sorely lacking since Windows Mobile 2003.
Windows Mobile and associated HTC devices have really slacked off on real innovation and rightfully so because they've had virtually no competition in the market especially with Palm dying a slow death.
If anything, Apple is going to bring about a new level of competition for Microsoft and HTC that can only make them stronger..that is if they up their level of innovation to compete.
Windows Mobile "Crossbow" is nothing more than a feature pack, adding some new icons, Voice Command, HTML email, and a few other things. We are still going to deal with buggy radio stacks, frequent soft resets, and the like.. Certainly not the innovative big step like Apple is taking with Iphone. I hope that this causes some real shakeups in the Windows Mobile camp about what Photon should bring now that IPhone has fired a shot across the bow.
