The growing popularity of Windows Mobile triggers an increasing demand for more creative and entertaining applications.

Winning applications will be made available for users to download on Windows Mobile Marketplace, the latest service to be rolled-out along with the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 later this year, bringing in new business opportunities for the creative industry at large."

This contest seems a wonderful opportunity for WM developers - but isn't there at least one other conversation in PPC Thoughts Forums about the DEMISE of WM as a viable Mobile OS???

Is somebody whistling in the dark here - or is there simply that much difference between "US" and "NON-US" markets?
