Title: iPhone vs Windows Mobile...

I wish Psion had never canned it.. it was another example of a fantastic British product that was ahead its time but didn't survive commercially. Anyway, personally I never liked the resulting Symbian OS as much as the Series 5.

Similar story to Acorn Computers (Wikipedia Entry). We have them to thank for the first RISC-based personal computer and, more importantly the ARM processor that now powers the vast majority of Smartphones and PDAs.

Hey ho... enough flag waving ;-)

still got a couple of newton's kicking around - now there's machine that should never have been canned and given the development it deserved!
