iPhone Tops Windows Mobile Share; MS Releases iPhone App

Posted by kdawson on Monday December 15, 2008 @11:55AM from the late-to-the-party-but-getting-ahead dept.

walterbyrd notes that new data from Gartner indicates that the successful launch of the iPhone 3G was enough to push iPhone market share over that of Windows Mobile devices — the entire range of them. And reader Spy Hunter writes: "Seadragon Mobile is Microsoft's first iPhone application. Seadragon is a technology for streaming zoomable user interfaces, and this iPhone incarnation allows viewing huge collections of gigapixel-sized images over WiFi or 3G. If you don't have an iPhone, you can also try Seadragon in your browser via Seadragon Ajax."

I'm not sure I agree. Every mobile interface I've used before wasn't intuitive and felt rushed and unpolished.
The iPhone's interface is nice, so for those who can afford the whopping price tag, and don't mind the stigma of "ooh you've got an iPhone, you must be a Mac guy", it is an nifty phone/pda.
Everything else is either a phone trying to have PDA features (and failing), or uses windows (crash city).
