I wouldn't count Microsoft out of the game just yet they do have quite a bit of capital in the bank they can invest in R&D and I think if they throw a little money at Windows Mobile they'll be able to come out with a good competitor to Apple and Google in Windows Mobile 7, let alone 6.5. Either way, all this competition is great for us as consumers and for me as a salesmen because it gives the customer more choices.
I agree totally on this. As a consumer, I value choice and having different offerings of OS systems is only beneficial to the industry. This also keeps price in check. Every OS has their own advantages to conform to user's needs. Yes even WinMo which I love.
My point is, Windows Mobile will not fall to Apple. Maybe Google in a few years when they've lent their OS to more manufacturers and carriers, but as long as Apple keeps their OS on their products, there won't be a threat. And that's not a bad thing. They control all aspects...

It didnt work well it still has a long way to go for full intergration of Pop3 accnts.

I happen to agree, recently bought a Bold, I find it fast and efficient. Maybe the OS isn't as powerful as WM, but it does what it does fast. And for the vast majority of smart phone users is far more then needed. Don't get me wrong, the TouchPro i.e. Fuze seems like a wonderful device.
As far as WM 6.5, depending on how this interm release is going to be used, will the phones it comes be able to upgrade to 7.0 when its finally released, then...
