Apple screwed up the most basic application of the phone: phoning somebody up. Windows Mobile lets you just type the name (or last name, or number – doesn’t matter) of the person – four letters are usually enough. With iPhone, you have to scroll… now imagine scrolling through 50 phone numbers of guys named John… or last names that begin with Van (well, I live in Belgium – that’s an issue here )

@hipkik: Maybe fake, but you can program buttons to open specific applications in WinMo, and to go ‘home’ (actually called ‘today’ on WinMo) you actually do open the start menu and hit ‘Today’

David the iPhone has years to go before it can catch up to WinMo…the sheer amount of advantages it has over the iPhone is completely beyond copy and paste and MMS messaging. The OS itself is lightyears ahead of Apple’s 2 year old product. Let’s be realistic here. You connect it to your computer and literally drag and drop files onto the phone and be on your way. The iPhone is irrelevant in terms of getting anything on it if itunes is not in the picture. Anything one can put on their iPhone has to go through iTunes. You cannot connect your iPhone to your computer and use it’s internet access simply by connecting through USB, which I do all the time with my Windows Mobile 6700 phone, which is on WinMo 6 mind you. There are numerous file extensions that you can’t view or listen to on the iPhone that is easily accessible when using Windows Mobile phone. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Not to mention simple things like recording a damn video, there is just no comparison. I’ve had my phone for 3 years now with no issues so I don’t know what you guys are talking about. I’m not saying that it does not crash and you can’t say that about the iPhone either. You’re delusional if you think it has fast internet or doesn’t crash or drop calls more than any smartphone out there. Let’s be realistic people. And too bad Apple can’t do the same for the iPod and you have to buy a new one to get the new features, while MS pushes all the new features on the old Zunes free of charge.

The idea of having both OSs on the iPhone is pretty great. Might have been a hoax but just the idea of it is wonderful.

HillBill: Then you had a faulty iPhone. WM is infamous for locking up. Also, and I’m not saying that you did, but if you iPhone is jailbroken as so many are, then you can’t blame the device or the OS for that. I’ve seen people complain about problems on jailbroken devices and it drives me nuts. I’m not doubting you had a good experience with WM but the iPhone is miles ahead in the stability department.

@David,
iPhone is miles ahead of WinMo mostly, but stability..I will give it to WinMo. Had both, my AT&T Tilt never had reboots and hangups like my iPhone. Yeah..

Evilhomer — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 01:44:43 +0000

Right on David! Living w/o cut and paste is a small price to pay for stability and usability. Don’t you WM lovers see with the the recent HTC WM devices that they are trying to HIDE that junk ass WM OS with something that looks like the iPhone?

Considering we know Apple is working on copy and paste for the iPhone the lack of it is only valid until the update for that feature. The same can be said about background processes and push technology.

People keep forgetting that unlike other mobile phone companies Apple has been updating their mobile OS for hardware that is even 1+ years old and not requiring you to get a new model.

this just in, HELL FREEZES OVER!

no but seriously fake (imo) why when he presses the start button PHONE comes up and then majicallike goes to the calendar, then back home…..last time i had a wimo phone i didn’t see a home button in the start menu

It honestly seems like this is a home grown App. Very simply after entering the App, it gives you the “choice” to choose between operating systems. Would have been more believable if he would have made a call through WinMo.

Awesomeness! Maybe I should “try” this on my cousin’s new iPhone, see what he thinks… ;0)

Oh, the kid…though being hit on, he was very respectful. Smooth talker and smart…I’m sure the Du definitely gets Norwegian action.

axtually, after checking out the link. Real food analyser for the iPhone (tells youhow many calories a picture of food contains)? myPhone? Sounds a bit fishy to me, very well presented trick tho!

Apologies if this is mentioned in the video (sound isnt working on this PC) but does this disable the sim lock if the phone is working under windows? Id assume not as windows/OSX is software and I believe the sim lock is built into the firmware but thought id just ask!

Aside from copy/paste functionality and MMS, I absolutely detest Windows Mobile. That said, I would totally do this because of ONE single application that I have to use for work (it is a logon password generator that isn’t available on iPhone). I have had to keep carrying around my old WinMo phone just for that ONE program. It will be nice to be able to get rid of it once and for all.

Actually about 8 years ago there was a bunch of FreeBSD developers which created a tangent of FreeBSD that they called lucifer.

FreeBSD on the iPhone would be sick… oh wait.

15 years old????????????????

He’ll be a millionaire by the time he’s 18!

Also, I thought WinMo was a bad OS on phones…
