Microsoft's 'Windows Mobile' phone platform failed, and was caned by the press. It has a lousy user interface, and still requires a stylus pen for accurate use. Windows Mobile has very few new applications being written for it.</p><p>On the other hand, Microsoft made a decent user interface with Zune HD. Still very few applications available. Microsoft failed to take the functional Zune interface and make it into a phone. Apparently Windows Mobile version 7 will do this, but it is delayed, and probably won't appear in phones until late next year.</p><p>Meanwhile, other companies such as Sony Ericsson are able to take the best features of Zune, and make it into a cellphone interface. Others have been able to do what Microsoft wanted to do, but couldn't.</p>Jenny RuddSun, 01 Nov 2009 04:06:34 -0000
