Proprietary Software

Windows Mobile 6 Logo

We are living in a world full of information readily available on the World Wide Web.  Did you know that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile is the only browser that doesn’t support HTML 5?  What is going on here Microsoft?  Are you so busy peddling your own proprietary software that you can’t realize that your suffocating yourself?  It’s all very clear from the Windows Mobile consumer’s point of view: we need a better browser with Windows Mobile 7.

Every now and then Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO, hints that Windows Mobile 7 will encompass many features that the Zune mp3 player currently uses.  Oh, yay.  Thanks.  Now I can play MP3′s on my phone?  That’s revolutionary. </sarcasm>

Even though I am an avid Microsoft fanboy, I can’t leave Windows Mobile 7 unaccountable for what we as consumers expect.  I mean, we are giving them hundreds of hard-earned dollars, right?  Shouldn’t we have a stable browser by now?
