[QUOTE=palur;711166]MS had no serious competitor in touch screen based cell phones till recently. Apple has great marketing strategies and create lot of hype.

Well MS touch screen worked decently using a stylo not fingers; Apple introduces, in the cellular phones arena, Touch" using fingers. Nothing new of course: restaurants and bar have had it for years but the iPhone applied the paradigm to phones.
I would not characterize this as just "marketing".
I still believe that MS and its inferiority complex toward big Enterprises made them loose focus and concentrate only on the business side forgetting that nowadays everybody carries a cellular phone.
