MS have missed the point completely. Most people buy the more expensive phones because they are trendier.
Once they have their phones they want to personalise them (ringtones, graphics). I want to change the whole look and feel of my phone - I want complete skinnability! Imagine downloading a Simpsons skin which little animations, jokes, Bart saying "You got a call, man" etc. For some idea of how this technology can work, check out Trigenix.
Work it out MS! These aren't productivity tools for most of us;-)

Huygens' signal is extremely faint. It has the power of a mobile telephone and it is 1.4 billion kilometers from the Earth.
If I'm only 3 km from the Vodafone cell base station, why do I have problems getting signal?!

The platform they've announced is indeed a dual processor system - TI's OMAP which as a RISC processor and a DSP.
In fact, MS claimed 'hard real time' with Stinger's Windows OS, even though it wasn't a proper RTOS.
