I agree with you about Windows Mobile. I used to be a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, and I jumped ship because it was such a lousy OS. Companies like HP and HTC will continue to make WM devices, and guys in suits will still buy them, but there is no more future in WM that there is in Palm OS.

Consequently this forum has become very quiet! All very predictable, though a little sad. I've already moved on to newer and better things, though I'll continue to monitor this forum for a while. Hopefully Palm will shortly create a WebOS forum that most of us can meet on. I suspect those opting to focus more on MS will find they've jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire, sorry! That looks like an OS that has seen its best days. And Nokia remains irrelevant in North America. So your options going forward are Android, WebOS and iPhone (with RIM in there as well), which appear to have very different development languages, though all three interestingly are Linux/Unix-based. Enjoy!
