More than anything else, however, the main reason I’m disappointed with the new Windows Mobile doesn’t have to do with features, lack of features, or UI design. It has to do with what 6.5 shows of Microsoft. Instead of stepping up to the plate and trying to do anything daring, new, or even remotely innovative, the company has shrunk from taking chances and delivered a new phone OS that’s not simply more of the same, but more of the same dressed up to look like something new.
Ten reasons why Windows Mobile 6.5 misses the mark. Now, I don’t exactly hate Microsoft, and I like seeing any company succeed, but reading this is disappointing. In a time when so many companies/people are going mobile, why do the same old thing? Especially with Android, Palm Pre, and the iPhone on the market with tons of potential.
If any company (aside from Apple) has the money/power to be influential and innovative, it would be Microsoft.
