Not surprised, but what a line of BS. I'm sure we won't see any new devices running WM6 that have comparable hardware to today's devices.

Since the devices we buy today have changed very little in terms of hardware (processor/memory) in the last 5 years, we are now led to believe that new devices will somehow be more powerful than old.

Then again, this just proves what a lousy strategy MS has in regards to mobile browsing. Opera has already delivered a decent browser that runs on today's devices, Apple has already delivered a decent browser that runs on a device with comparable hardware to today's devices. Heck, Nokia managed to get Firefox running on hardware with similar specs (N810). Yet, Microsoft gives us a 3 generation old browser that is still too demanding to run on today's devices. Hmmm, wonder why some of us question Microsoft's commitment to the mobile space, or if they even have a clue what they are doing in Redmond?

At this point Microsoft contineues to show that they just don't get it. I feel we are about to see a signficant shift away from Windows Mobile. Microsoft continues to show complete disregard for this market and the customers that have supported their software for the last decade.
