The sad thing is I really like my HTC Touch, it's a slick piece of hardware. I
don't find WM6 anywhere as bad as WM5 was on my old device stability-wise. I
agree the UI in WM is pretty crappy in places. The really ironic part is it's
still more intuitive than most cellphones.

I enjoy ramming the low price and more functionality of this thing in the face
of iPhone fanboys, but the reality is Apple are catching up fast, and in 2
years they may well have a mobile OS X that is to WM what Leopard is to
Vista.

You can see why MS are pushing aggressively on the Web an SaS fronts - the
walls are closing in on the rest of their markets, save for gaming.
