I feel myself drifting away from Windows Mobile.

Now that I'm using an HTC Shift to work away from home, I don't need my mobile to be an all-singing, all-dancing computer anymore, and that's opened up a space for me to question why everything about WM devices is so damned complicated.

Hearing now that they're focusing on putting Zune compatibility into Nokia phones while I can't get two of my MSN Music Store-purchased songs onto my new-this-year WM device just makes me want to give up on the platform. A five-minute conversation with any one of us in this community about what we want from these devices would underscore how severely disconnected this team seems to be from consumer reality sometimes.

Methinks the "invisible hand" of the marketplace is about to slap MS's mobile division upside the head within the next year or two.
