More fragmentation in Windows Mobile just what we needed… ( sarcasm )

I can't say this is bad thing necessarily. If emerging markets can get a “smart” phone for a large discount (like the 25$ w/ a contract Palm Pixi on Sprint) then I say great! This will force network expansion and create a wider adoption of phone technologies thus creating a larger market for mobile application development. Will it be great for us long time users? That answer is a definite “No” but moving forward a larger market with expanded competition will be good for everyone.
