It's carriers playing their games. T-Mobile wanted the first Windows phone from motorola, so they bought exclusive rights to it. Cingular wanted the razr, so they bought exclusive rights to it. Carriers are just as scrupulous as apple and microsoft about exclusive rights. "We want this phone, but if you sell it to anyone else, we won't buy it." They all do it.
So they'll be using all that power to pay for the performance hit of OO programming?
This is what makes Slashdot so exciting. Ignorant people preaching falsities as fact. OO does not incur any noticable performance hit. And for people who do OOD, it actually speeds up development, which is a more important factor.
Mod parent up for actually understanding what communism is.
He's using the term communist not as an insult, but as an example. The term communism has be twisted around by our (the US) goverment during the world wars to actually be totalitarianism/Marxism. Those two ideas have nothing to do with communism.
Now people get off your M$ bashing high horses and get back to class. Try to learn something.
And my opinion added on: You do not need to use something like VStudio for anything smaller than enterprise sized ASP.net or PHP development. Textpad is more than adequate. I really dont see what u will gain by using some huge IDE for personal development.
Sounds like someone who's never used a really good IDE before. Try one out, and then come back here. Since the IDE for ASP.NET is a lot better than TextPad, the advantage still goes to.NET.
Code completion, Drag and Drop objects, visual page editing. You're right, how could those possible speed up development.
Looks like this article is full of it. Slow.NET code? ASP.NET can be compiled into DLLs, and at my old job we upgraded many of our ASP and PHP projects to.NET with a large speed increase. Only works on IIS? Try out the mono project.
Also seems like everyone is complaining about ASP. ASP and ASP.NET are two completely different beasts. ASP was buggy and a pain in the rear to work with. ASP.NET, however, was amazingly simple to use with an amazing debugger (VS.NET). Please keep on the subject and leave out ASP.
You're thinking of GSM/3G phones. CDMA/TDMDA... don't have SIM cards.
And you are only partially right that you can switch from one phone to another by just swapping SIM cards. You forget that different countries run different bands and different technology.
Also phones are programmed for a specific network, so swapping a SIM card from an AT&T phone into a Cingular phone will probably not work unless it was reflashed (replace with your countries providers).
Patents were put into place to help fund research and design groups. If my company spent $1 million to create some new technology and Joe Schmoe's company uses it for free, what's the point in me spending the money? Why don't I wait for someone else to invent something similar. Why would anyone have an R&D group anymore?
Now I'm in debt and Joe Schmoe Inc. is raking in the money for my idea. Still think patents are a bad idea?
Look towards china. That's where they are selling them. Hopes for a U.S. version? Probably not, but from what I've heard around here (motorola), linux is here to stay.

The MPX line is 100% 3rd party. Everything else is 100% inhouse.

Too many C++ programmers abuse virtual methods and RTTI
True, but this does not mean that OO is slow. Bad C code can be slow too.

MPx200 doesn't run on windows, it only has the windows user interface. Windows Mobile runs on many types of OSes (including linux).
