Implications
To me this update and the delays are examples of how little focus & research and $$$ Microsoft has given to Windows Mobile. It's just not high on their priorities.
The Apple ads that belittle the Vista ad campaign is a good example, it effectively shows MS spends money on advertising Vista and not in repairing it. However, Vista and Windows7 and Office 2009 and new systems will be their focus for years to come, so the WinMo is just an after-thought.
Android shows much more promise, and the I-Phone has moved so many people away from waiting for MS next thing.
THe one thing that MS has in their favor is the weak economy will slow down people's phone purchases and perhaps by the time they can buy, WnMo 6.5 or 7 will be enticing enough users to stick with the platform.
I-Phone and Android will not wait to improve their systems so it may just be too little too late for WinMo.
