The list looks practically exactly the same as iphone's 1st incarnation.

Power off, go out, find new things.
i might be a geek, and love computers, specifically a full time 3d animator (heavy stuff), but that doesn't mean i don't have a life. i go out a lot and try loads of new things, ysss, chill out mate, you don't know me

How is it better than maemo?
wooah, if this is TRUE, then WM7 has no chance...I knew about copy/paste and multitasking, but the other list of things is really not looking good for MS. I guess Android will really capitalize on the market next year.

I hope this is a joke, WM7 offers as much as a 4 year old feature phone, I`m talking about the funcionality, not the eye candy..

WP7 will succeed not because of it's functions, but because of it's marketing and popularity. The current mobile OS with practically the most limitations is iOS, yet the consumer experience is considered the best and it is amongst the most popular. The majority of users are end users, seeing a 'new' and 'revolutionary' piece of hardware, what will only be a small upgrade or even a downgrade to the tech that they are currently using..
