I recently blogged about my thoughts on the Microsoft Windows Mobile / Google Android disasters.  In the mean time, Google did nothing to change my thoughts.  They introduced the Nexus One.  It sounds cool until you do a little digging and find out its nothing but a device from HTC that has the Google label all over it.  Sales have not been good.  The marketplace has spoken.

 Now rumors are floating around about a Microsoft Windows (Zune) Phone based on Windows Mobile 7.  Does Microsoft have the ability courage to build and design its own phone?  Seriously, they need to.  Look at Apple and RIM. They control the mobile device marketplace.  They produce phones that customers want, not these products that are shoehorned into some hardware, but devices and designs that people want.
