It can happen but the phone would be from a third party manufacture like palm or htc. and Microsoft windows mobile needs some work it sucks right now. but in the end apple will come out with something better.

I think BB is likely to do it first. If Rim put some time into an innovative touchscreen device it would run the market. You can already get Visual Voicemail for RIM phones, they already have the easy to use browser with far more capabilities than the Iphone, and they are now sleek looking phones.

Hmmm, like what happened w/ Zune???

MS should stay away from that crap (mp3 players, servers, mobile phones, etc) and worry about making a serious secure reliable OS for the desktop (for once)...
