IPhone vs Windows Mobile
This video up on YouTube shows the IPhone features vs a Windows Mobile device. It's annotated in German but is fairly obvious to understand from the Video.

Not knowing German or the source of this video... my impression is that they are showing how tedious Windows Mobile is, as compared to the iPhone. That was my impression the whole time. The iPhone seems faster, you don't have to set you device down and whip out a user-unfriendly stylus to tap tiny widgets. If you watch the video, the demonstrator "mis-taps" with the stylus quite a few times. The stylus is clunky. One-handed operations -- possibly with big buttons to tap with your fingertips is the future (and really, the now). This is what Windows Mobile should be doing: eliminating pop-up menus as much as possible, encouraging fingertaps and dumping the stylus paradigm, moving to one-handed operations. The smartphone edition already is leagues ahead of the Pocket PC edition, with its menus, better focus on smart keys, etc.
