Has Windows Mobile become a CES wallflower?

If you go down the list of what you've been dazzled by so far from CES this week, just how many of those items have any association with the Windows Mobile operating system? Don't think we haven't noticed, either.
The news from the Windows Mobile team at Microsoft isn't what it might have been had Windows Mobile 7 been closer to ready. As it turned out, the much anticipated WM7 was delayed last September, in a move that Microsoft informed its smartphone partners about before anyone else. Supporting phone manufacturers such as HTC with its TouchHD, Sony Ericsson with its Xperia X1, and Samsung with its Omnia, are preparing to settle for Windows Mobile 6.1, while WM7 languishes in what seems on the outside to be an indeterminate netherworld.
