Windows 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.

This is a very good point. Ultimately, it matters very little if Nokia is still a marketshare leader if its share is in freefall. After all, it takes a while for people to give up devices they already own. The big question is, what will be the device they buy next?
