Does it make sense for Samsung to have its own mobile applications store for Windows Mobile (and Symbian), too? We're not sure, but the reason why the company is announcing new support for Windows Mobile developers at Mobile World Congress is to attract them to the store – and to get them to use specific features on Samsung devices like the Omnia’s optical joystick and DLNA support. DLNA lets you stream photos, videos and music to a PC, PlayStation 3 or a DLNA-compatible TV and Samsung expects it phones to be a key part of home entertainment as well as sporting the location-based services that are taking off on all platforms.

I say call it the "Phone Operating System" or POS for short... and everyone will ask "Is your phone a POS?" and companies will put labels on thier next gen phones saying "POS-Ready"!

Hmm.. so I have to hold the TG01 phone perfectly straight to watch movies on it, what a pain.

I remember being at Microsoft and going to a presentation of their smartphone OS (can't recall which version). They had big hopes for the market, but this was 2004. I had figured that marked had all but dried up on them, but this article claims they're the number #1 smart phone OS. When did that happen? Why don't I see more Windows phone advertisements? Seems very contrary to MS's whole philosophy.
