Yes, Microsoft has really missed the boat with the browser market in the mobile device space. They are now so far behind, I think the best solution would be for them to license Opera and include that as the default browser in WM7. IE6 is NOT going to cut it.
Microsoft's has been caught with their pants down in the mobile device space on more than one occasion in this market, and still seem to be moving slower than a tortoise. They still don't seem to get that these devices are more than just companions to peoples desktop. Yes, we want fast and easy synchronization of data (something they haven't managed outside the Exchange environment), but the devices need to be self-sufficient and provide a full software experience.
It will be interesting to see the Android experience and see if Google has a better grip on this space than Microsoft, despite Microsoft's 10 year head start.
