The reason windows-based smartphones and PDAs stink is because of the latency issue. Windows leaves open applications after you move from one to another, and eventually the DRAM gets clogged and the device slows to a trickle. This doesn't happen on Blackberries, because RIM was smart enough to shut down the application you are NOT using. somewhere in between these two systems is perfection: the ability to run more than one program, but while not having so many open at once that the device performance suffers.
So I fail to understand why no one in the blogosphere is reporting from CTIA about whether this Windows Mobile latency problem has been fixed on Windows Mobile 6.0? Anyone??
“We're grateful that RIM has finally decided to pay some attention to the sizable number of non-PC users that have been stuck with poor alternatives for way too long.”
