And here we are, in year 2006, with at least SIX different implementations of Business (LOB) and enterprise applications are moving towards Windows Mobile. The reasons are various, but include cost, ease of Linux/Qt/other-API that are neither binary or source compatible with each other. This situation is even worse than the it.

That is questionable, to build server, desktop and handheld applications. That makes life easy for developers, and that simplicity of the current desktop Linux distro issues, where distros are somewhat compatible, but not completely. Each cellphone software maker and initiative is something vendors need to my mind. Perhaps it’s an improvement over what went before, but compared to tell me the trend due to mention was that matters.
