Tech MSNhas done a very quick, selective comparison of four of the newest smartphones to hit the market:  the Apple iPhone 3GS, Nokie N97, Palm Pre, and the T-Mobile myTouch 3G.  You have the Apple OS, Symbian, WebOS, and Android.  Anybody see anything wrong here; no Windows Mobile. 

I really question whether this article should be listed as the hottest smartphones or the newest smartphones.  Anyway, I have always believed that if something was classified as the hottest, it should be something that is selling like hotcakes fresh off the griddle.  Also, that the hottest should be something that can do more than the rest as well (you know, the new and improved idea).  This is not the case here.  Windows Mobile is just simply being ignored because, in this writer’s opinion, people just see it as old-hat.  This is so sad.  Windows Mobile may not be the fastest; and it is certainly not going to fit everyone.  However, Windows Mobile will and can do more than all of these put together.  There are more applications and customization for Windows Mobile than any other operating system.  This alone should be enough; but no, we have to go and get the latest thing to be “up with Jones’” or to be better.  The problem is that the latest and greatest are not all they are chalked up to be.  Read up a little bit and you will find that each operating system has its strengths and weaknesses.  Why are we doing this?  It seems to me that image means more than functionality.  I own a Fuze because of what it can do; not what it looks like.  The whole purpose of the smartphone is to be able to do things on the go.  Here lately there are more people buying smartphones.  Is it because they need to get things done on the go or is it just to look smart?  Alright, I am off the soapbox now.  Check out the article for yourself, and see what you think.
