Interesting take on the mobile OS wars
Posted on January 5, 2010
The times has this report on the movement away from Windows mobile. What happened? In our opinion, a combination of things:
- Moribund feature set – personalization, social media integration, and MMS were neglected
- Uninspired user experience – a shrunken version of windows, lacking multi-touch or other newer interaction abilities
- B-list and C-list of manufacturers – Interestingly, HTC which is improving was the biggest proponent.
Hopefully, this will result in Overdrive rearranging their priorities.
