Windows Mobile and iPhone OS

I've owned about 5 WIndows Mobile devices, 3 Palm Devices, and 1 iPhone.

What we all need:

• Simplicity
• Power
• Reliability
• Speed
• Integration

Palm OS (Pre-Pre haha):

• Simple. Very Simple.
• Does what it needs to do and doesn't falter.
• Not much in terms of applications.
• Most certainly not designed for a mobile professional.
• It's a glorified rolodex.

Windows Mobile (5, 6, 6.1):

• Attempts to satisfy someone who needs to read spreadsheets on the go.
• Very slow and unstable. Not good for phone use. At all.
• Integration is sub-par.
• Lots of work-arounds for lots of things, nothing is simple.
• Fonts are ugly.
• Interface is clunky.

iPhone OS:

• Smooth, and very nice looking.
• Font rendering is exceptional.
• Web browsing is a dream.
• Did I mention how good it looks?
• Fantastic applications, integration, and standards.
• Apps need approval (good and bad).
• Very fast. Very slick. Problem free.

Verdict:

iPhone OS simply cannot be beat. It's perfect. I haven't used Android, but it's more of a platform than an intended out-of-the-box Mobile OS. You aren't intended to use the built-in Window Manager if you don't want to. Windows Mobile: pay attention.
