Microsoft always seems 2 arrive 2 the part kinda late. Anyways, i hope they don't abandon the mobile market and give up. Isn't their OS in 3rd place surpassing Blackberry in 2013?

If one thing I saw them do, it's try, try again
but actually, they have more guts than a certain OEM which shall not be named. and the resources to make them work
hopefully no curveballs (bad ones) come our way
It's odd that Windows Phone (not mobile) just came off their best year ever... and you decide to start this thread. I guess we can assume you have no interest in Windows Phone. Why on earth would they buy NOKIA if they were planning an exit from the phone arena? In case you haven't noticed most manufactures have abandoned the high end mp3 player market. I know Apple still sells ipods... I just can't figure out who they sell them to. I haven't seen one in the wild for years.
I think maybe someone that is considering buying into the platform and has some doubts of the longevity. I know I would if I bought a Q10 device from RIM.
Well, first, it's Windows Phone rather than Windows Mobile -- the old WM line was discontinued in favor of the WP line. They actually arrived with a mobile OS fairly early, but then did little with the platform and got passed by with the release of iOS and Android devices.
While WP market share in the U.S. is still very, very small and growing quite slowly, it is making more progress in other markets. Also, the last two months have "felt" better, with lots of popular apps coming out and firms announcing that a WP app is in the works for them.
I wouldn't be surprised if even Apple discontinues the iPod line eventually. Convergence has pretty much rendered standalone MP3 players obsolete.
Yeah, I just use my phone. Apple will probably still make iPod touches though.
You got it! They renamed the Zune services to be "Xbox Music" and "Xbox Video".I dont even think the music app on the phone is branded as ZUNE anymore as it was in Windows Mobile 7.
