In a recent article by businessweek.com they mentioned that an average Windows Mobile gadget costs $154 while the Android G1 cost is estimated to be $10 less at $144. Keep in mind that this is the averagee cost of building a Windows Mobile device. Some how I dont think high end devices like the Touch HD will be close to that. What do you guys think would be the buid cost for the Touch HD ?
On a sad note they also quoted one of the pioneer developer in the Windows Mobile community Koushik Dutta ( the Windows Mobile Guru who released the Light / Accelerometer Sensor API for Touch Diamond which open up the flood gates for Accelerometer and Light Sensor applications developed by the Windows Mobile community and the much loved Klaxon alarm )
“It will be soon mostly Android,” …… “I like the [Android] phone better. It’s mostly a usability issue.”
That is not good news for the Windows Mobile Community.
