death of Microsoft´s Windows Mobile

ms smartphone is a handicapped pocket pc

pocket pc is a handicapped tablet pc

Windows Mobile has no bright future.

simple cellphone in combination with tablet pc have future.

bill gates doesn´t take seriously the whole Windows Mobile for a reason and
this reason is that simple cellphone in combination with tablet pc (both
with bluetoooth) willl be the winnners.

so stop wettting your pants about Windows Mobile because it gonna die....

This post does not represent Microsoft's plans for the future of the Pocket
PC, SmartPhone or Tablet PC. I have been covering both the Pocket PC and
Tablet PC since before Microsoft announced them.

Microsoft continues to focus on all of them separately because they have
different features and capabilities. This is especially true for the
battery capabilities, alarms, and size. There is no device that runs the
Tablet PC OS that is very small. The lightest is 2 lbs and it's from NEC.
Yes there are small Windows XP machines such as the OQO however it does not
even have 8 hours battery life. Further it has no cell phone capabilies and
it's about $2,000.

At the same time, the Pocket PC allows for high speed data input, long
battery life and instant on. Also, the small Pocket PCs such as the 4150
which weighs about 4 ounces is much smaller than any Windows XP machine.
Also, the instant on is a huge deal for users - that's how you get your
alarms for appointments, ability to call someone without a 2 minute boot
time, etc.

The SmartPhone is all about being a phone first. So it focuses on the
ability to place and recieve calls and integrate it with the PIM. It does
add additional features such as Windows Media Player. The units do not have
a touch screen so data input takes more keystrokes just like it does on
other cell phones. Also, the standby time is over 100 hours and talk time
is over 2 hours and instant on for alarms like the Pocket PC.

Overall, I have written previously on my thoughts on these issues at "What
is in The Future of Windows Mobile Pocket PCs?"

Dude, seriously. Get a life already.
And quit posting the drawings of your 2 year old
in this non-binary group.

Fair point but the additioan dial features are useful to some.

>pocket pc is a handicapped tablet pc

Disagree, you're taking out of your arse, they are quite different
applications and markets.

>Windows Mobile has no bright future.

Disagree, it does well what it's intended to do. I use it a lot for
what I need at the time. It's not intended to replace a fully fledged
PC - thats what a dock station is for :-p

BS !

a tablet pc is a handicapped notebook

Guess you are not aware that the SmartPhone runs a flavor of Windows Mobile.
If your stated objective is to promote the SmartPhone platform, I would
think you would be aware of OS it runs. Whether OEMs continue to produce
devices that support the PPC or PPCPE flavor of Windows Mobile 2003 would
seem to be a business decision. Currently I am happy to use a PPC in
conjunction with a cell phone (non-Smartphone, data and BT capable). That
is not an unusual combination. Currently I find the PPCPE too expensive
and a bit large to use as a single device if I require phone features. The
Smartphone is a bit under-capable, browser, Office support, to be useful to
me as a single device. I am also not keen on the lack of touch screen
input, though that is key to the 'phone' concept. That is just me. It
certainly doesn't imply that is the gospel. There are different people out
there with different needs and scenarios. That's why there are options.
Kind of sad you feel the need to denigrate other options rather than just
extolling the virtues of yours. Kind of reminds me of American politics.
The key seems to be to make yourself look better by telling how bad the
others are.

As far as Tablets go, when did they become any more mobile than laptops.
They have some unique and desirable formats and input options, but they are
essentially the next logical step in laptops. The Army seems to understand
the difference in transportable and mobile. Transportable you can move.
Mobile you can use while you are moving. Laptops and Tablets are more
Transportable than Mobile, IMHO. I'm unlikely to pop out my Laptop or Tablet
at the airport gate to check flight times, while that is a typical use for
my PPC. Yea I could pull out a Smartphone to do that, but then if I needed
to e-mail, IM or SMS a friend about the delay I'd much rather do that via
Calligrapher than T9.

So the platforms co-exist. If there were only Smartphones, I don't think all
the PPC and PPCPE users, and potential users would naturally gravitate and
buy one. There are a lot of non-MS options out there. Good ones too. Henry
Ford got away with only selling black only until there were other options.
