And Microsoft's pathetic attempt to steal the iPhone thunder with FUD inspired demonstration of the impressive "touch-based" architecture in Windows Mobile 7.

Yawn.

Windows Mobile is finished.

Abandon ship!

this day and age a CEO is the single most representative being associated with a company... why would any board of directors deliberately vote for THAT to be the face of their company?

even a generic ken doll type exec would fare better than ballmer.

the guy comes across as an angry, arrogant bull dozer.]]>Feb 24th 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/steve-ballmer-pounds-chest-decrees-windows-mobile-7-coming-next/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/steve-ballmer-pounds-chest-decrees-windows-mobile-7-coming-next/
Are we all now turned into Apple iBoi's worrying about our Lifestyle's and how we can accessorize it with the right product and right company who's CEO has to look just right?

Ballmer is hilarious and if you ever been a MS tradeshow his audience loves his demeanor. ]]>Feb 24th 2009 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/steve-ballmer-pounds-chest-decrees-windows-mobile-7-coming-next/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/steve-ballmer-pounds-chest-decrees-windows-mobile-7-coming-next/Feb 24th 2009 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/steve-ballmer-pounds-chest-decrees-windows-mobile-7-coming-next/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/steve-ballmer-pounds-chest-decrees-windows-mobile-7-coming-next/

"Odo, the Founders *are* the Dominion. Ironic that we now control the destiny of thousands of solids."

"Why would you want to control the destiny of anyone?"

"Because that which you control cannot hurt you. It is our destiny to impose order on a chotic universe."

Gates has many ambitions, but I don't think that's one of them.

And your point is? I don't get what the point of dropping Android this and that in an article that doesn't even about Android.

So can Android do everything that Windows Mobile does? Does it do Exchange? Office Mobile? 24,000 applications? If you like Android for what it is, good for you. But Windows Mobile is good for it's own reasons too.
