Mr. Gold has it all wrong; Microsoft will not drop WM.

Mr. Gold is the founder of J. Gold Associates, an IT analyst firm. In his latest publication for BusinessWeek, he stated that Microsoft should hang up on Windows Mobile as it is “losing support of many of its leading device makers”. He adds that HTC is “making a major commitment to Android. So is Motorola”. As a refresher here, HTC also made a major and firm commitment to Windows Mobile and has done that for years. HTC did indeed allocate some of its resources to Android development, the same way it did for Palm.  I admit that Windows Mobile has some catch-up to do, but that is no reason to kill it Mr Gold.
