    You hit it right on the mark.

    I've found it very interesting that there is been a flurry of negative yet irrational and silly articles in the press lately against Android just a Microsoft is getting ready to release its Windows Phone. Coincidence? (Insert you favorite conspiracy theory here.)

    You are assuming that Windows Phone 7 OS will be a huge success. I rather doubt it at so many levels. Even the name of the OS is wrong. Is Windows Phone 7 OS - Windows 7 running on a phone if so why or if not why not? It is very confusing. It is too little too late. Even Blackberry's latest OS is losing traction.
    The innovations are moving WAY too fast for Microsoft to continue to play catch up. The problems lies a the CEO level.
    I remember when Ballmer used to ridicule running applications on a browser and now he is playing catch up. I remember when Ballmer ridiculed running a browser on a phone. Now he is playing catch up. etc, etc.
