That's only somewhat true. Microsoft actually gave IE Mobile some nice little features in the 6.1 release of Windows Mobile. I'm not trying to say it comes close to the greatness of what MobileSafari or even Opera Mobile is doing, but they HAVE been doing some development lately.

It may give it a run for its money (which I don't truly agree with), but it took quite a bit of imitating from MobileSafari to get it where it's at. When I bought my iPhone, Opera Mobile still surfed the web horribly, and slowly. By horribly, I'm referring to the rendering job. The same goes for most other browsers out there for Windows Mobile.

In the meantime, Apple is developing new features for the iPhone and MobileSafari that will make it work better. It's all copy copy copy...

While I certainly favor the iPhone's OS, I have to disagree with you about how their approach to the iPhone was revolutionary. You see, I was using Windows Mobile back when it was just "Pocket PC 2000", and that had nothing to really do with cell phones. It was meant to be a standalone, PDA OS. The Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional of today is the newest version of this. Pocket PC phones (touch screen) rather than Windows Mobile Smartphones (non-touch screen) are mobile PCs first and foremost because that's what they originally were.
