Mind you, as a smart device, no version of the Sidekick holds up well against any well implemented WinMo device. However, considering the concept of cloud storage has been around in an actual working product sold to millions of users for seven years now, one would have thought that we would have seen something like this a lot more widespread for other mobile operating systems, ages ago. Certainly not seven years later.

If MS is putting as much love into WinMo as they did Win7, then I just may have a geekgasm.

Honestly though, it's not a desktop OS and should basically be free for end users on any phone they want to try putting it on. Windows mobile users have had to put up with a lot of shit for a long time, i think it'd at least be a nice gesture to try and convince people that microsoft doesn't completely hate smartphone users.

I remember trying a Palm 4.5 beta on my Curve and getting pissed at how crashy it was. Then, in a fit of rationality, I told myself that it was beta software and reverted to the 4.2 that the Curve came with.
Better to piss off people who aren't adding much to the bottom line by not letting them have a bad experience than to piss off people who are driving the bottom line by catering to the foot-draggers.
If you want a new OS, buy a new system that is designed to run the OS.

They need to fire their UI designer and hire a new one. One with creativity, that is.

If it wasn't for the App Store in iTMS, there wouldn't be companies like Handango. Yet another company stealing from Apple's arsenal of completely original ideas.

Well played, sir.

It was clear back in 2000 that there was money to be made in apps for handhelds. Unfortunately, there was no real central store for them. Handango had a lot of offerings but the pricing was all wrong.
Additionally, there was an article in Macworld this week saying that the 99-cent model is not feasible either. A company tried going a couple of weeks selling their apps at .99 instead of the usual $5-$10. They broke even - but that was because of publicity. If everyone does it, a lot of app companies will fail.
There needs to be a centralized location but it needs to be open.

Apple invented the idea of selling applications for mobile devices like Palm Pilots and BlackBerries.---
ROFL. I'm glad I think you're joking because the other option is...ignorant.

I mercifully killed this one in its infancy.

I went out drinking with Christian Bale last week. Some drunk tried starting crap with me and I had to verbally rip him a new one.
You'd be surprised just how pale a Brit can turn when in the presence of sufficiently varied vulgarity.

I typically find "yer'mom/that's what she said" jokes to be pretty stupid, but that one was well played sir.
