Possibly the best comparison done between Windows Mobile and the iPhone.

deit So you’re still trying to make up your mind if you want a NEW Windows Mobile device or the NEW Apple iPhone.  Here is a video that Deiter Bohn did that is an absolute wonderful comparison of features from both.  With points given to both devices, Deiter prefers the Windows Mobile experience but he is quick to point out that it is because of his particular needs.  This is really well done and carefully takes you through the experience.

So much of what needs comparing between these two devices is software experience, so it had to be a video. And it turned into a more general "Windows Mobile vs. iPhone" sort of deal, so we bring you a long (25 minutes, too long for YouTube!) one. So grab a cuppa joe and witness the (low-key) smackdownery. If you don’t have time just now, here’s the short version:

  • iPhone: Absolutely rocks the universe with its media capabilities and its browser.
  • Windows Mobile: Still the king of productivity. …with plenty of "check out this native 3rd party app" cheap shots thrown in at the end.

Basically we’re looking at a situation that matches with everybody’s expectations surprisingly well – the Apple product is hip, flashy, and surprisingly easy to use. The Windows product actually lets you, you know, work. Now in the desktop world, I find that the Mac lets me do the work I need to as well (if not better) than Windows. But in the mobile space, well, the cloying commercials fit pretty well.
