I can already hear it.... Intellisten, a technology that listens to your conversation and cuts in it with advertising messages, regarding the words you spoke.
I say what I see. If you find my words offensive, then you find reality offensive.

haha

seriously though, it would be easy for MS to make a phone. I mean, what does the iPhone have? music, web?

Win CE has all that + more.

You guys are not thinking strait. If google made a phone that was supported by advertising, it would be minimal. Sound advertising would not be part of if because no one would like that. Even if the phone isn't free, the service will be, because google will by the 700MHz broadband spectrum which they'll use and become a phone provider. I agree with binoj_daniel on Surface. It's incredible how they managed to create that amazing technology. It's original and looks very promising. I don't think apple will beat that.

jbennet, MS making a phone might not be a good idea. windows ce is buggy and crashes often.

Why do we need all these companies making phones?!?
I mean we have enough ruddy choice as it is, why do we need more? I happy with my old phone, but this is getting crazy, soon the phones will be like cheaper PDA's, seeing as most of them surf the net and have a calender of sorts, i mean, what is the point?
In my opinion they have no purpose, a phone should be for calling and texting, not ruddy checking msn and your e-mail inbox, that is not the purpose the mobile phone was built for.

Personally i dont think its that bad. Ive got a palm T|X and a PocketPC 2003 device (Toshiba e750) and CE seems to crash no more than my XP pc (max twice a day, sometimes its fine for a week) but thats nearly always down to third party software. The OS itself is very stable

In my experience the BSOD isnt MS's falt. 99% of the time tis bad 3rd party drivers. Have never had a vista BSOD yet.

I have used a mac twice in my life. It crashed twice.

First time the little spinny thing just went around forever on startup and the second time it just froze when doing apple update

100% failure rate for me, maybe the macs just dont like me
