30.12.2008Bang On: I love Windows Mobile
It's still pretty cool to hate Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. With the iPhone and Android getting so much attention and feeling

that Microsoft produces. The out of box experience is anything less than extraordinary. If the iPhone "just works", then a standard Windows Mobile
installation just makes you want to put your head through a wall.
