Not sure this isn't a good idea looking for a use?

Also does anyone else think Microsoft is looking tired now? Sort of the old man of tech. Apple and Google seem to be the brands of the moment. People seem to be either turning their lives over to iTunes and iPhones or Google/Android. Both companies, while very different in approach, seem to be more exciting and innovative. Microsoft is for ever saying 'Ah but now we can do that too'' just when Apple and Google are moving on to the next big thing.

Seems like a good idea in a way, but Windows mobile should be going for power over gimmiky features that it will never do as well as apple or google.

They seem to be going the other way though and simplifying them to apple standards, removing features.
