I'd say his comments pretty much sum up why we haven't seen any innovation from Microsoft on this platform in the last several years. They have grown complacent and are ignoring the competition. Too bad for them - this one time evangelist has moved on. My daily driver is now the iPhone 3G and YES, I use it for business daily. Microsoft thinks they can bury their head in the sand and competition will just go away. Blackberry provides an easier to use email solution for those who really just want corporate email with their phone, and iPhone provides a superior internet/entertainment platform. Buy the time Microsoft realizes they have significant competition, they will no longer be relevant in the mobile world.
I know MS still maintains a large WM market share, but their lack of innovation is starting to, and will continue to catch up with them. It's not like the desktop space, where you can drive a competitor out and resell the same software over and over - It's obviously much easier for competitors to pop up in the mobile space.
