The future is mobile. That much we know for sure. But it seems that the operating system world in this market is being rapidly taken over by --again-- Microsoft. The new smart phones are are using WinCE, Symbian or Palm. Linux has barely 1% of this new, smartphone market.

While I agree, I tend to think that I right now, my phone works great for what I do. But it's dying. Soon I will need to buy another one. One that gets worse battery life than this one, and soon I will be pining for the days when my phone was a phone. Not a word processor, camera, game machine, instant messenger, movie player, walkie talkie, etc.
Unfortunately that is becoming rarer and rarer each year. I don't see the point. I already have a really good PDA. Why would I want a mediocre one in my phone? I have a really good web browser on my laptop...why do I need a mediocre on one a small 3x4 or 6x7 screen?
You're trading really really good for the mediocre. Does this make sense at all? not to me.
