Windows Mobile! Shame!

At the TechMediaInvest event this evening. I couldn’t believe it when I saw a chap using a Windows Mobile handset complete with sodding stylus. It should not be allowed.

  1. I think you will find that a lot of new devices that still use windows mobile professional AKA windows mobile with a touch screen still include a STYLUS. The Trend in China/ASIA is if you are over 45+ years old say generally speaking they prefer to pull out the stylus and write the chinese characters long hand onto the screen. If however your under 40-45 years old either a real keyboard aka blackberry or virtual aka iphone and android are perfectly acceptable and hunty and pecky enough to be efficient and useful.

    Since windows mobile has clearly lost the plot years ago, there still are handsets being released with windows mobile professional on them. The sooner that gets nuked with 6.5 te better off all of us will be. Beileve it or not the NORMOB's still consider it high tech to pull out the stylus and scrawl or scratch away like rabid chickens on their HTC (STONE-O-MATIC) 9000.
