"I couldn’t find a killer innovation..."

From Walt Mossberg at the Wall Street Journal on the Windows Phone 7

"But I couldn’t find a killer innovation that would be likely to make iPhone or Android users envious, except possibly for dedicated Xbox users. Even the built-in Office can be replicated with third-party Office-compatible apps on competing platforms; and the iPhone and Android phones also can interoperate with Microsoft’s corporate Exchange email, calendar and contact system.

"So for now, I see Windows Phone 7 as mostly getting Microsoft into the game, and replacing the stale, complicated Windows Mobile system that preceded it."

Amen.  These WM7 won't take off now, and if they are a repeat of the Zune line which is in its multi-generation phase, they will flounder at the bottom of the market with their Bing, MSN, blah blah blah, products.
