I bought my Sony Ericsson X1a two weeks ago and I'm loving Windows Mobile. Sure the other major smartphone OSes may have better interfaces, but Windows Mobile is a very able OS. A big matter of form over function. I believe it will be the dominant smartphone OS as it has the largest range of manufacturers and handsets, whereas Android is only on a few phones right now (though that is sharply increasing), and Palm's new OS is only on one device at the current point in time. Mobile OSX though is only limited to the one device though...
So in the business world, I can see Windows Mobile or Blackberry remaining at the top. I can't really see Android gaining a lot of support in the business world as it links up with google a lot.. And with WebOS it needs time to grow. And then Mobile OSX? It's good for some people, but not for all.
I AM very curious though to see this Symbian Foundation device SE is expected to unveil second half of the year.
“Microsoft's not promising the world with Windows Mobile 6.5, nor are they delivering it -- it's very much a stopgap, complete with duct tape, bubble gum, and Bondo.”
