Windows Phone Thoughts: Pocket Goddess: The Zen of. . .Windows Mobile

"If you’ve been in the mobile space for any length of time, you already know how that sentence is supposed to end. After all, we’ve been talking about the “zen of Palm” for years now. But my recent experiences with Windows Mobile 5 have led me to change the way that sentence ends, at least for me...Palm was first in my consciousness—first to market (I had never even heard of the Newton), and the makers of my first handheld, the Palm IIIx. I used and loved that PDA and its many successors over the years—the IIIc, m505, Sony Clie NR70, Tungsten T, Tapwave Zodiac, and finally the palmOne LifeDrive...In effect I had become a Palm OS “fangirl” in the sense that I had dismissed the competition without really giving it a closer look and honestly evaluating whether or not the devices and software met my needs."

An interesting article about a long-time mobile device guru and her new-found appreciation for what Windows Mobile has to offer. Anyone out there undergone a similar change of opinion regarding Windows Mobile? I've been a fan since 1997's Handheld PC days, so I can't say that it's happened to me, but I know there are a lot of ex-Palm users out there. What drew you to Windows Mobile?
