Mobility Site - View Single Post - Gizmodo: What's Wrong with Windows Mobile and How WM7 and WM8 Are Going To Fix It

Although I loved my Axims for a long time, always thinking the x51v was not everything it could be, once I tried an ipod touch I was blown away.

The ipod touch, simply put, RESPONDS to your actions. You tap an icon, the program opens, you tap a menu, it drops down and you get options. Open safari and in 1 second it's up and loading a webpage.

The ipod touch and the iphone make the Axim feel like an old pentium 200 processor compared to a brand new 3 ghz computer.

The battery on my ipod touch lasts for 5 hours with video playback, wifi, brightness set high - my axim was lucky to get 2 hours.

But ultimately, the reason I went with an ipod touch over deciding to keep using my axim, the speed of the ipod touch OS is simply useable. It's practical, and it just WORKS!

Next time you click IE or Opera and wait for the loading screen, and wait, and wait, you'll know why Windows Mobile is a failure.
