How Microsoft blew it with Windows Mobile

. . .Windows Mobile has lost nearly a third of its smartphone market
share
since 2008, research firm Gartner reports. . . . . . Windows Mobile
ships with several different
manufacturers' hardware, including HTC, LG and Samsung. The problem?
From a developer perspective, that requires coding an app for several
phones with different UI styles, buttons and screen sizes. (The same
problem, incidentally, has started to plague Android developers.) . . .

. . . The iPhone operates on a
closed system, which can only run on Apple hardware, meaning third-
party developers can produce apps and games that work exclusively with
the iPhone.
