What I don't get is why Microsoft offers both Windows Mobile and the Zune OS. I don't get it. Shouldn't it be one platform? Are they competing with each other internally?
Microsoft had for many years a good Mobile OS that did the job fairly well. Internet browsing was bad, but for calendaring and general PIM functions it was very good.
I personally own an HTC Touch HD and I also sold my iPhone for it!
I know I am not currently representative of the average consumer...I am a Microsoft specialist and work with their products.

I believe that if someone needs a phone that can go to the Internet (fairly well), do emailing, and calendaring, then Windows Mobile is a good choice. I haven't used an Android phone yet, so I cannot comment on that, but from what I have seen it is really very competitive and more open to customizations than Windows Mobile.
I believe that Microsoft will eventually get it..It is never too late. They are still in the game but need to move fast, faster than the others...
