Before the iPhone, we were content with stylus-based interfaces that worked well - mostly - for what you needed to do. Then came the iPhone. From a pure feature perspective, it was (and is) lacking, but it more than makes up for it by being a polished product that's easy to use. The iPhone shook the entire industry up, and while newcomers have done relatively well (webOS, Android) Windows Mobile is now so far left behind you can barely see it any more. Windows Mobile 6.5 is supposed to be the first step towards modernising Windows Mobile - but it fails miserably.

"Microsoft and Apple had two very different paths, and I think we all know which won in the marketplace. "
Indeed we do - Nokia.
(But the difference between Microsoft and Apple is much less than, I suspect, you would be thinking, and WM beat out iPhone as recently as Q4 2008).
