Scary thing is that backintheday, Windows Mobile was the only thing you could reasonably run. Blackberry? Please. Palm? Forget it. Windows Mobile was actually a stripped-down version of Windows, and it did okay... but they made conscious decisions to have a "start" button and a desktop and all the stuff that made XP what XP was. Which didn't pan out very well on a 240x320 screen. So they had a monopoly on the market, and were annihilated by an OS that couldn't even handle Exchange properly until version 4. XPSP3 off an SSD is pretty snappy, even on an eeePC. Just sayin'.
