I’ve lost count of the number of years the mobile industry has asked this question, but looking at the evidence maybe it’s already happening. Every day people are carrying computing power around with them: laptops, Tablet PC’s, PDA’s and mobile phones, but there is still a predominant reliance on desktop computers because much of the software in use today isn’t designed to cope with being mobile."</i><br /><br />Marcus Perryman has posted a preview of his upcoming MSDN Flash article about the directions that the mobile market is heading in. While it doesn't deal directly with Smartphones, there is some talk about the roots of Windows Mobile (Windows CE) and why you might want to choose Microsoft as your mobile OS. It's a short read, but still pretty interesting. Check it out. :)
