Is it a search button? What is stopping Microsoft from implementing a desktop search functionality ala Android? Why not incorporate the Bing app into the OS shell?

I think Microsoft is just making excuses so they don't have to use "old", pre-existing devices. Make the companies roll out all-new phones, and therefore your entire operation is seen as updated and revolutionary.

I'm going to miss the functionality that Windows Mobile provides once I switch to Android for the Sprint EVO. But, it seems that many of the features I know and love -- and even come to expect, no less -- such as direct-multitasking (no app pausing in memory), highly efficient copy and paste that is OS-wide (no app-specific scenarios) and other WM-centric functionality are being forsaken in the next iteration of Windows Mobile. And for that, I weep just even a little bit...]]>Mar 25th 2010 6:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/

Also I bet the people at HTC are really disappointed about the HD2 not getting the upgrade, because why would they want people to buy new WP7 phones when they can give them the upgrade for free on their year old phones]]>Mar 25th 2010 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/

App support

Are all software-specific functions. The only thing I can see causing unavoidable conflict are the lack of hardware buttons. Everything else can be remedied through software updates / OS rewrites.]]>Mar 25th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/
Hell, hardware buttons aren't even a limitation as they too are commanded through software functionality.

My Touch Pro 2 lacks a dedicated CTRL and TAB key, yet I found a program that allows me to rewrite the functions of the hardware keyboard. I changed my MMS key into a CTRL key, and my E-Mail key into a tab key. It effectively nullified the damn over-redundant nature of the Sprint TP2's hardware shortcut buttons -- all with a simple program.

Unfucking your device limitations:

There's most likely an app for that...]]>Mar 25th 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://walmart.letstalk.com/cart/cart.htm]]>Mar 25th 2010 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/
So WM was doomed was the other came out with dumb down OS's and the ability to charge you for stuff that at one point was a given. The old WM just did not fit today's society of we don't want to think about what to do we just want it to do it for us. I will be keeping my HD2 as a keep sake for this will be the last great phone that did not really need a App for that. ]]>Mar 25th 2010 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/
Dude or dudette (See I'm politically correct) get over yourself already. Not everyone wants to get into the behind the scene intricacies of a mobile device's OS. A lot of people just want something that works and works well without too much modification and what not.

People these days have increasingly busy lives and commitments, sitting around rooting/jailbreaking/modding or what have you is superfluous for many. Perhaps this is why WinMob has fallen to the wayside...not so much because it isn't a good OS. ]]>Mar 25th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/aircell-tempts-htc-hd2-owners-with-six-months-free-in-flight-wif/Mar 25th 2010 1:10PM
