It seems you assume Microsoft decided not to compete then. I wonder why they made Windows Mobile then...

Forgive my lack of faith, but a company that has, consistently and for as long as this market existed, failed to deliver a decent product, even despite the huge mountains of cash spent in developing it, seems a very unlikely competitor now.
