An executive in Microsoft’s entertainment and games division Tuesday hinted that Microsoft may be developing its own rival to Apple’s iPhone, based on Windows Mobile OS. So - what is the deal - it seems that MS is always trailing others in technological ideas - from the first consumer GUI, to office software, to the media player (iPod vs. Zune), and now to the mobile phone.
It truly makes one wonder how they got to be so big and powerful... I guess on everyone else's coat tails? Let everyone else take the risk, then steal/copy their ideas and use your huge economic power to force the others out of the way?

I’m sure it will be as big a success as Zune. Or Vista. Or maybe even Bob.
