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.

MS has been in the mobile space since 96 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Windows_CE_Timel...

I think 13 years of shipping devices gives them more experience then apple had with its 9 years of newton development.
