The iPhone is for a different market segment than WinMo phones. The iPhone is shooting for the RAZR users; WinMo and BB are shooting for power users/people who have work to do.

The iPhone is for fun; WinMo phones are for work and play. (Sling mobile, anyone?)]]>Mar 26th 2008 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/
"This is my rifle this is my gun...this is for fighting this is for fun"

I do agree with you, but I'm perplexed at to why Jobs compared the iPhone to the Q and the BB and then retreated and said that it isn't for the business user?

I have an HTC Mogul and certainly hope 6.1 improves things, especially RAM use. Still, it's silly to say that the iPhone doesn't blow away WM in terms of interface and web use.

I'm no iPhone zealot (I don't own one) but do you actually believe this to be true?

Go over to any WinMo fansite or forum and you'll see that people are swapping out their WinMo handsets for iPhones in their droves. I'm sick of seeing every second post saying "I thought I'd never leave WM but, after using the iPhone, I'm hooked". Shiny gadgets appeal to geeks no matter what logo is on the front.

With the SDK and ActiveSync support coming, the two markets are only going to cross further.]]>Mar 26th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/
that's true, but the lack of a physical keyboard is really frustrating to the serious business user. A couple of guys made the switch in my company, and they keep complaining about not having a keyboard. ]]>Mar 26th 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/
And it still doesn't have real push email. The exchange support still isn't instant.

And who wants to use EDGE, anyway?]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/
Windows Mobile needs to compete with the iPhone if it wants to survive.

People who buy HTC branded devices likely will be able to download an update for free. They have always been pretty good about it. Tmobile likewise has made updates free for their branded handsets, but this takes a bit longer. AT&T and Verizon have typically been glacier slow at adopting new builds but it has been long enough since I have been with either of them that this may have changed. I don't recall any cell phone carrier charging for the update in recent memory. It is more a question of whether they will provide the update at all, and if so when.]]>Mar 26th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/Mar 27th 2008 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/Mar 26th 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/Mar 26th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/windows-mobile-6-1-gets-tweaked-mildly-integrated-into-windows/Mar 26th 2008 4:39PM
