<p>Now, leave your hand up if you think Microsoft has a compelling strategy for you and your mobile.</p>
<p>OK, so there&#8217;s a few.</p>
<p>Now leave your hands up if you don&#8217;t work for Microsoft.</p>
<p>Yep, that&#8217;s what we thought &#8211; a hands free zone.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re the first to admit that we love just about everything Microsoft does. But when it comes to Mobile, we have to agree with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/desktop_mobile/windows_mobile_is_an_alsoran.html?kc=MWRSS02129TX1K0000535">Joe Wilcox</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://gigaom.com/2008/10/15/why-windows-mobile-is-in-trouble/">Om Malik</a> and many others when they say that Microsoft is letting a major global strategy slip out of their grasp.</p>
<p>Microsoft seem to be at pains to hype up all the &#8216;cool new stuff&#8217; coming at <a target="_blank" href="http://microsoftpdc.com/Default.aspx">PDC</a>, especially cloud based and Windows 7 based. But where&#8217;s the mobile stuff? There&#8217;s nothing there on the <a target="_blank" href="https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/timeline.aspx">PDC Agenda</a> about mobile.</p>
<p>Microsoft is losing ground to numerous other mobile vendors, and with Google&#8217;s Android being available shortly, the noose is getting tighter.</p>
<p>Windows Mobile <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=754112">currently sits at 11.5% of market share</a>.</p>
