After the recent Palm announcements this year, the launch of Google Android, Blackberry Storm and of course the iPhone 3G, Windows Mobile is beginning to look like the mobile operating system from the past. Is it going to disappear or come back stronger than ever to reclaim its place as the most powerful and flexible operating system of them all. Love it or hate it the iPhone has changed the face of mobile operating systems. Before the iPhone was released or even announced we had boring interfaces, Windows Mobile was stylus based and a pain to use, Blackberry was email on the go and nothing more, Nokia was well Nokia and Android was just a twinkle in Mr Googles eye.
Now we have a much greater choice of quality operating systems as everyone has taken a long hard look at what Apple have achieved and upped their game. As I said, love it or loathe it, the iPhone has had a massive effect on improving everyone's favoured mobile operating system and the new Palm Pre can join this illustrious crew with great innovation and even though it has borrowed quite a few of the iPhones good points it has still managed to add a few extras, copy paste, MMS anyone.
So taking this into account, where does this leave Windows Mobile?
Well there are two distinct trains of thought on this one:-
1) The pessimistic view, its all over Microsoft don't care about Windows Mobile it's not a profitable business and it will just disappear, Windows 7 is all that matters.
2) Microsoft are taking their time, rewriting Windows Mobile from the ground up to blow everything else out of the water, if Palm can produce what they have done with their resources, Microsoft can deliver a great new Windows Mobile experience.
