I wouldn't even care much if it's free software or not. It should only perform some very basic tasks. And it doesn't. That's the problem.
Lacking these features is not "immaturity"(At least not in my opinion) look at the article, then go and do some experimenting with Windows Mobile 6.5 . And you will get the point:Most of these features are omitted on purpose.
