"I have the distinct feeling, based on observed evolution of market shares, that Pocket PC phones are killing the Smartphone market big time. In fact Smartphones (I mean, Windows Mobile Smartphones) have never really got a sizeable share of the mobile phone market, and with all the new nice WM5 Pocket PC phones hitting the market lately, it seems that MSFT Smartphone share is now shrinking! And of course, the fact that WM5 makes Pocket PC look like Smartphones (with Soft Keys) certainely is not helping the Smartphone platform market to grow."
The PocketTV Team has posted a really interesting question in our forums. Is the Smartphone platform doomed to fail now that we are seeing so many Pocket PC Phone devices that are just about as small as a Smartphone? I won't tell you what my thoughts are here, you'll have to go read the original thread. (http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9513) And don't forget to add your thoughts too!
