What would be the point.  It's really a small market.  Why even bother with the handset market at all.  Might just as well start building laptops or mobile reading devices.  It would present less of a headache than having to deal with carriers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Constable Odo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2008 9:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gates: Microsoft isn't going head-to-head with the iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, I mean, who uses cellphones anyway?

Boy was I happy.  So i asked the gentleman who had it if i could use it to call home and make sure what kinda milk i needed to get chocolate or vanilla or whatever flavor the white one is.  Boy did it ever feel so good to loose my cell virginity.  I probably wont see one of those again for a long time i hope there will be a market for them some day.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2008 12:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gates: Microsoft isn't going head-to-head with the iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Where did you dig up that picture of a young Gates??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rpa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2008 10:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gates: Microsoft isn't going head-to-head with the iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why "dead" man walking?

They seem to focus more on business and the user's ability to customize and alter their products to their needs.  At this point, with a few Windows Mobile updates and carriers like HTC running custom skins like the TouchFlow...why bother with the R&D for a new OS?  I think they like being in the middle with business and entertainment functionality (found their place in the market?).  An entertainment only phone (the iPhone is NOT business friendly) would just canabilize their rising MP3 player sales.  I do wish they'd integrate the new ZunePad on a WM phone though.  That's the most intuitive interface that I've used!  (turns off input unless your actual finger is on it, wakes up the device when touched, X+Y axis movement, fast scrolling and an Enter function)  Touchscreen + ZunePad + physical keyboard = awesome phone!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PynkFloydd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 16th 2008 5:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gates: Microsoft isn't going head-to-head with the iPhone]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/13/gates-microsoft-isnt-going-head-to-head-with-the-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[??<br><br>You know some cute vaginas??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[blade417]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2008 1:14PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
