Microsoft is already trailing in the mobile market and losing ground more and more. They really shot themselves in the foot closing off dev. I'm sure Mozilla won't be the only ones to bail. I don't know anyone currently using a Windows based phone. Those that did have them have jumped ship for another format.

Microsoft is dreaming that WP7 will be selling as good as the iPhone when it first started on sale, with long wait list and huge lines of people at each apple stores. Therefore, they want everything completely new to their newest phone and OS, just like how iPhone started without much app but now 10th and 100th of thousands. I do not foresee this will happen to the WP7 and this will definitely hurt Microsoft in the long run.

The iphone didnt do anything new. It was the product of exellent advertising. You may not remember this, but the iphone when it launched was not much more than a touch screen phone with itunes support and a good web browser. Great advertising and alot of idiots made it a big hit.

iPhone did not do anything new? I find that statement incredibly ignorant... Honestly. Yes, when it was launched, it was mearly a touchscreen with iTunes integration... but the software was fast, easy and very user friendly, and the touchscreen was unlike anything ever seen on a phone. Later down the road, apps... Because of the iPhone, many many companies stepped up their game to compete. There are phones now that have much better capabilities than the iPhone. I mean look at what HTC and Sprint are Launching EVO 4G- a ridiculously powerful and beautiful piece of work. If nothing else, give Apple and the iPhone the credit it deserves as far as pushing competition.

Sorry, but I agree with remixfa. The iPhone had been a ridiculous product of good advertising and brainless, brainwashed people being told it is cool to buy.

Both Completely Irresponsible Comments. All 42 someodd Million Units sold... all these people are brainless and brainwashed? Stop drinking whatever Koolaid you two are drinking. Unbelievable. To each his own, but you can't deny what the iPhone has done for the industry. Great advertising? Yes. But is that all you are going to give it? If it is such a ridiculous product, then why the hell has it done so well? When the next one is released sometime in the near future, and it blows sales out of the water and makes all the other phone companies again step up their game, then come back and try and make brainless and brainwashed comments.

The iPhone is the reason why there are a lot more touch screen phones, more App stores, and more OS competition. Just imagine, if the iPhone wasn't released, there would probably be no Android, no Moto Droid, etc. People are just jealous of the iPhone's success, but give credit where credit is due. The iPhone caused the competition to step their game up.

How, exactly did this become about the iPhone? Back to the point, this move has got to hurt Windows Mobile's credibility. Even with what looks to be a great OS now, to have firefox shut you down is pretty knarly.

This isn't surprising seeing as how Mozilla is heavily funded by Google. Of course they would concentrate more on the Android platform.
