Looks pretty crappy here too. To Mozilla- Opera 9 is the defacto standard on winmo that you need to beat.

@Cannon,

And yes, I know what I’m doing in regards to winmo. I have had one ever since windows ce 2.11 on my casio e-105 brick PDA and owned a slew of devices ending with my AT

@Cannon,

Worldwide is what counts. Marketshare is marketshare as they get revenue from all countries. Money is money in this global market so why limit to just the united states if it is sold globally. Does not make sense.

@Surur,

Not by much. One thing to note is Windows mobile is sold by all carriers across multiple devices at multiple price points. iPhone is sold by one carrier and is only one device. So for iphone to do as well as it did against them, relatively it did better. Apply iphone’s success to all carriers and it would have killed winmo.

Andy, dont forget, WM outsold the iPhone over the Christmas season. You probably did not notice however because the story was not “interesting enough” for the iphone-loving blogosphere.

@C Cox

In the US? Yes WinMo is losing market share. Worldwide? No way. Why else would SE, Palm and others continue to use it?

And as always, LOL @ people calling WM “crappy”. Usually it’s the people who don’t know what they’re doing who say such.

WTF? It dosen’t do anything. It is very slow to load and once it did all i see is an address bar and a checkerboard pattern.

@Surur,

RIM and iPhone have surpassed it as far as marketshare goes. And iPhone is newer. Tell me how you consider a product that has been out forever and has fallen behind new competitors successful. It’s ugly, and most people think so with everyone trying to cover up the UI so it looks nothing like WinMo.

Don’t get me wrong, I like windows mobile and have been with it since my old cassiopia, but it is extremely outdated and looks last gen compared with the modern competition. BlackBerry UI looks outdated too, but what it does it does really well. And iPhone apps can’t be beat as far as interface goes and everyone seems to be developing apps for it like crazy including the big boys.

@Andy and his boyfriend

It must upset you then to see all the great hardware running the OS, and all the most interesting software going there first.

Im with this guy, I could think about taking a dump on a plate and it would be better than WM. Texas Instruments TI85 graphing calculator from 1994 has a better UI than WM………

I just tried this on my Sprint Touch Pro, Takes a while to load and then every page I try to visit just says “page load error”

BTW, I didn’t see any mention of this on the Mozilla Fennec page. Is this the official Mozilla release?

This does nothing. Even on my homepage, which is nothing fancy, just some text, it just shows the black and white checkerboard of doom. Couldn’t get a single page to work.
