I've passed up the iPhone 4 times now. I've wanted one, but I always pick Windows Mobile because of the one thing Windows Mobile does better than the other platforms: Outlook tasks. I use them very heavily, and Pocket Informant with the Franklin Covey Plan Plus helps me keep my head above water. I know PI is going to be released on the iPhone soon, but it's not out just yet and I don't want to have to buy another license.

Windows Mobile does frustrate me with some of it's limitations. Just now, I got notified of a comment on my TypePad blog. I know, for some of you that's nothing, but I don't get many comments. However, I could not log onto TypePad with Pocket IE. I had to wait to get back to my desk to see what the comment said. It's inexcusable that PIE can't handle simple functions like logging into a site. This is Windows Mobile 6.1 on a brand new Epix. The phone hasn't even been out a week.

If Apple would add support for Outlook tasks, I'd jump platforms in a heartbeat. Of course, I could just use my iPod Touch too, if it supported.
