Microsoft's plan to save Windows Mobile

One of the biggest stories of the past year has been Microsoft's fading fortunes in the smartphone market. Since mid-2007, Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS has failed to keep up with more innovative devices from Apple, Research in Motion (RIM), Palm, and Google, and has lost both mindshare and marketshare. The release of Windows Mobile 6.5 in late 2009 was met with scorn by reviewers and analysts, and many called for Microsoft to get out of the smartphone market for good or perhaps poach technology from a competitor such as Palm.
But Microsoft has a plan to save Windows Mobile. And it might just work.
