yes, but most knew (that cared) Apple would provide a robust SDK for the
iPhone in time. Looks like we should see it in a few weeks to next
couple of months... the iPhone's massive popularity will wipe out
WinMobile, RIMM, Palm, Sysmbian within 36 months.

It would be very hard to compete against Apple's software skills at this
point for any phone company. They simply don't have the resources since
they have never been software developers, much less have the large
developer base like Apple has.
