    Hi there

    Windows phones are great but much too late to the party -- going the way of good stuff but not a sufficient market. Not enough applications either (Real applications -- not kiddy games etc).

    Remember Betamax (far superior) and VHS wars, Windows (OK) and OS/2 (hugely better but IBM wasn't keen on home users etc), and Sony refusing old Cassette radios to be developed to use Minidiscs instead -- could have been a great format in its time-- I actually still use a small portable mini disc recorder --excellent device even after all these years.

    You could have the BEST product in the entire Galaxy - but if you can't market it OK or it is ringed fenced with so many restrictions that people can't use it easily (Minidisc - Closed proprietary ATRAC format and loads of DRM for example) then they'll switch in droves to a less restrictive alternative. - Unfortunately the best designs / devices don't always win in the hard reality of a market place.

    On a much more positive note - the Surface Pro 4 will be a HUGE winner --Ms have actually got this 100% right just about in time --travelling Pros who need both a serious laptop and the convenience of a tablet --with a docking station this will blow almost any laptop out of the water --and I suspect a few desktops too --pity I can't run 8 monitors from one of these -- the graphics card in such a small device would probably need enough power to generate sufficient heat to cause Hydrogen Fusion in a nuclear Bomb. !!


    Cheers

    5800 next update coming October-November

    It would be nice. However, there has been no official word from Nokia about the possible availability of kinetic scrolling for the 5800 and this is the first anyone has heard of another update. I'd take this with a (big) pinch of salt.

    A very large pinch of salt: This post is just to let anyone new to these sort of forums know that you really need to re search your issues in great depth yourself instead of just accepting the advice of others blindly (and yes I'm aware of the irony of this post).
