Google Android not Just a Press Release afterall

Let me start by stating the obvious: the Windows Mobile is a very mature and competitive product, and won't be easily substituted by any Google or Apple hype. And it won't be simple for the enterprise users to get away from Windows Mobile - or Blackberry, in that respect :)

And yes, Window Mobile needs some competition to keep getting better. And above all, being iPhone as closed as it can get, platforms where we can write code against (like Windows Mobile) are very much welcomed.

Now let me argue against what I consider a not so great remark from Ballmer:

Right now they have a press release

Android is not as vaporware as we might think:
