Our Opinion on CrunchGear's Article

CrunchGear just posted an interesting article outlining many aspects of Windows Mobile 5 O/S devices and their capabilities and shortcomings.

"Being able to have a lightweight device with laptop-like functionality you can just whip in and out of your pocket is worth the added bulk in your pants. Web browsing, email, instant messaging, media playback, RSS reading, Skype VoIP calling, emulation gaming, organizing, and scheduling are just a few things you can do. "

We wholeheartedly agree with this statement, especially coming from a business perspective where added functionality means more ROI.
