Well... I would say not so fast. First of all, the king of the mobile 
hill, Nokia has brought out it's own Crackberry-clone. And worst enemy 
of M$ seems to be itself:

With that track record, any handset maker should be very scared to do 
business with Redmond. Plus, Apple knows very well that after a while, 
people would hate to carry two bricks in their pocket - it's either a 
cellphone or an iPod (you might have observed itunes popping up in 
motorola's phones). So future indeed seems to be interesting ;)


Vamsee.
