Microsoft Acquires Danger: Is it an Answer to iPhone or Android?

Anyone who have used Windows Mobile phones can attest to the fact that total user experience is really quite bad. There is a lack of integration finesse, and the end product feels like two separate teams working in isolation were brought together only at the last moment before shipping to fit the software and hardware components together. Thus the WinMo model of commodity software loosely engineered to fit feature rich, but poorly integrated hardware, ultimately does not produce the kind of user experience that the Blackberry or iPhone offers. Microsoft is going to do a Zune to the WinMo consortium, what they did to the PlaysForSure consortium. Bring out a totally integrated Phone (hardware, software and cloud services totally integrated) and sold only by Microsoft.
