Lightbulb Consumer Toy vs. Business Tool

Well, now that the iPhoney has almost caught up to Windows Mobile 2003, time to consider how much we could do with a 6 year old operating system that still cannot be done with the iPhoney. Phones are not made to be fingered incessantly, they are made to be used by voice commands when one is doing something else, like driving or navigating, or looking at a document that was attached to an email. What, still no attachments nor multitsking on iPhoney? Hope you never have to change the battery on a busy day, either!

Steve Jobs is a masterful marketer and the bulk of American consumers are idiots. MS needs to market better.

Hopefully MS will maintain an open for development friendly platform while realizing what works on the desktop is not what works for a phone, even a business phone. Voice Recognition comptence is paramount, and MS has squandered their head start with no enhancements recently. They surely have the resources as evidenced by their collaboration with FoMoCo.
